Tender, juicy chicken skewers are possible in the oven—especially when roasted alongside spiced chickpeas and finished with fresh tomatoes and salty feta.
This riff on the Laotian classic comes together in 20 minutes.
Chock-full of spinach, herbs, and feta, this nourishing skillet will shine at any meal.
