It doesn’t get more American than chicken, potatoes, barbecue and cheese, does it? We may not have as specific or refined cuisine as other countries, but when you’re craving comfort, American food does a body good.
This dinner combines all the classic American favorites in one skillet. It’s prepped in just minutes (thanks to store-bought diced potatoes) and then does its thing in the oven for an easy, cheesy meal everyone will love.
