Crispy Skillet Chicken

with Bulgur Paella, Carrots, and Apricots

There’s a lot to love about this one-pot skillet dinner, but crispy bone-in chicken might top the list. Cooked in the style of paella, this bulgur side dish has sweet apricot, zucchini, and carrot folded in for a variety of textures. A sprinkling of parsley and a squeeze of lemon finishes the dish with a touch of brightness.
