A one-pan dish with only 5 ingredients, that takes 15 minutes to get on the table? That’s a perfect mid-week meal if you ask me.
The one thing this delicious dish is missing in my opinion, is a load of vegetables, so serve this with a fresh crunchy salad, a big bowl of roasted vegetables or yummy mash.
