Italian Chicken One Pan Meal with Leeks, Apples, Kale, and Parmesan Cheese

By Krimkus

Italian spiced ground chicken is the inspiration for this healthy one pan meal served with leeks, apples, and salty parmesan cheese.

I'm a super fan of the sheet pan and one pan meals trending on Pinterest recently. You can pile your favorite protein in a pan or on a baking pan with a variety of vegetables and aromatics to come up with a healthy dish in no time.

It's not a new thing for sure. If you flip through your cookbooks I bet you'll find more than a few recipes that use a single pan, but I'm happy all the same that making a quick and healthy meal is making a splash on social media and in people's kitchens.

Italian ground chicken is the base for this one pan meal and with the addition of kale, fall fresh apples, mellow and oniony leeks we have the makings of a savory weeknight meal.

I have to give credit to our friend, Tim, whose apples have graced our table for weeks. How fortunate are we to have a pile of organic apples in our pantry!

As is typical of this Rimkus family, dinner wouldn't be the same if a crumble of cheese of some kind wasn't found on the plate. Salty parmesan cheese is the perfect finish for this one pan meal.
