We are looking for ways for home cooks to make meals for a week faster. So we came up with our first 3 way meal. This meal uses some common ingredients (chicken thighs, garlic, onion, olive oil, salt and pepper) that can be prepped at one time and then used in each of the 3 recipes, saving some time in preparation By adding different spices and vegetables you can make each dish unique. This "Italian" version includes tomatoes, artichoke hearts, parsley and basil.
