Ten minutes. That’s all this recipe takes from start to finish, and it’s been my go-to weeknight dinner when I need something fast but don’t want to compromise on flavor. The secret is having everything prepped and ready before you start cooking – once that pan gets hot, this dish comes together like lightning.
