Definition of Skillet Cooking
A frying pan, fry pan, or skillet is a flat-bottomed pan used for frying, searing, and browning foods. It is typically 200 to 300 mm (8 to 12 in) in diameter with relatively low sides that flare outwards, a long handle, and no lid.
Chicken and Mushroom Skillet
I learned how to cook from the best of the best. My loving father taught his five kids how to cook at a very young age. The art of cooking has become one of my biggest passions in life. The best lesson I've learned in my cooking endeavors, is not to be worried about exact amounts or work too hard. When I look for recipe's, I take what I like-add ingredients that sound good to me, and throw out the rest. I believe cooking is healing and should be fun. Hopefully, this chicken recipe I tweaked will be enjoyable for you and your family.
