If you’re looking for a quick, easy and delicious meal then look no further! My Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner will have your family begging for seconds.
It’s full of all the good stuff: meat, veggies and a delicious sauce!
I plan out our family’s dinners on a weekly basis. Every weekend, I sit down with my husband, and we outline what we’d like to eat for the week. We cross reference with our fridge and pantry in order to create a proper shopping list.
This planning may seem long and daunting, but it keeps us on track for our budget and health. It helps us prevent from ordering in, and munching on fast-food meals.
The Beauty of Sheet Pan Dinners
I often turn to sheet pan dinners because of their simplicity. I’m all about using minimal tools and dishes when it comes to weeknight dinner prep – and sheet pan dinners are the perfect solution!
When you whip-up sheet pan dinners, it’s important to keep cooking times in mind. Certain veggies roast faster than others. Be sure to start with harder veggies like potatoes and carrots (along with your meats, of course!).
Chicken and Potatoes
When I think of sheet pan dinners for my family, I think of our favourite dinner combinations. Chicken and potatoes are a classic – and so I decided that would be the base of this particular sheet pan meal.
