Chicken Sheet Pan Meal

Sheet pan chicken meal
This chicken sheet pan meal is super simple and pretty easy to make! Its a great weeknight meal that feeds three to five people, depending on how big your family's appetite is. This is also a great recipe for meal prepping if you're only feeding one or two people. Chicken thighs, broccoli and/or cauliflower, and new potatoes. Well seasoned chicken juices drip down onto the vegetables and make them absolutely delicious. Both pair perfectly with the crispy garlic and rosemary roasted potatoes. You're free to use a mix of both broccoli and cauliflower, or either one you like better. To save even more time you can buy pre-cut veggies. This would work fine with frozen vegetables too! This takes a little over an hour to make, but only 20 minutes of active time. So while your chicken sheet pan meal is baking you have plenty of time to start the dishes, help your kids with their homework, or burn someone you hate in effigy. Whatever it is you do with your time, I don't know.
