In Epi's 3-Ingredient Recipes series, we show you how to make great food with just three ingredients (plus staples like oil, salt, and pepper).

You'll have your hands free for about 15 minutes while the chicken bakes in the oven—just enough time to whip up an arugula salad with a mustardy dressing.

Cooks' Note

If desired, serve with Dijon or grainy mustard for dipping.

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
