Skillet meals are popular because they’re simple and make cleanup a breeze. A good skillet can go from the stovetop to the oven, making it perfect for everything from crispy fried chicken to baked desserts. Preparing a meal in a skillet helps to develop flavor, especially if using a cast iron skillet, because the pan will retain the heat, which creates wonderful browning, and adds flavor to dishes like meat, cornbread, and cobblers. In this roundup of easy skillet recipes, you’ll find easy meals, one-pan dinners, skillet breakfasts, and even cast iron desserts. Fewer pans, less clean up… that’s a win-win.
