I am becoming more and more about easy dinners that require very few dishes. At least twice a week I use the slow cooker, and other nights it’s the cast iron skillet. Next, I’m going to invest in an Instant Pot I think, mostly because my friends who have one rave about it. I just want life (and dinner) to be as easy as possible.

If you are looking for an easy weeknight dinner that requires just a cast-iron skillet and a pot to boil noodles, then these chicken thighs in a tomato mascarpone sauce are for you.

These chicken thighs go from stovetop to oven without having to transfer to a baking dish.
