Hi, it’s me. Bailey. Here with another one pan meal. This time it’s an easy peasy 30 minute one pan mustard chicken and veggies dinner! Instagram has these cool polls now and I, out of curiosity, asked you guys if you prefer cooking one pan meals in the oven or on the stovetop. An overwhelming amount of you said stovetop. I personally think that the hands on time makes it feel like it doesn’t take as long as opposed to waiting for the food in the oven to be done cooking. That being said, I totally get the appeal of both and there’s definitely situations where the oven is better than the stovetop. This meal can be done both ways, but as you’d expect, it takes a little bit longer in the oven.
This one pan mustard chicken is super easy to make, Whole30 compliant – meaning dairy and grain free(!), and easily customizable to include any veggies you might already have on hand. I included some seasonal veggies I scored on sale at the store and already had the other ingredients handy, making it really cheap too! The veggies I included were mushrooms, multi-colored cherry tomatoes, onions and asparagus. This would be great with potatoes, delicata squash, carrots, turnips or Brussels sprouts.

If you’re making this meal on the stovetop, you’ll want to add in the veggies that take the longest first, especially if you use alternate ones to what I have in the recipe, such as potatoes or turnips. The general rule of thumb I like to go by is start with the harder veggies and then every few minutes add in the softer ones, working your way forward until all the veggies are in.
This will ensure that your softer veggies don’t overcook or get mushy because they’ve been cooking just as long as the vegetables that take longer. This is also one of the reasons I prefer doing one pan meals on the stovetop as opposed to in the oven. Most of the time, it’s really not a big deal and of course it doesn’t make a huge difference. But for me, because I meal prep a lot of these meals, I try to make sure they’re not overcooked being I’ll be reheating it and cooking it again later in the week.
