A Quick and Delicious Recipe for Busy Weeknights

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, finding time to prepare a wholesome and delicious meal can be a challenge. Fear not, as we bring you a mouthwatering solution that requires just seven simple ingredients and a single pan. This easy-to-follow recipe for One-Pan Chicken and Vegetable Roast is perfect for busy weeknights when you want a hearty and nutritious meal without the fuss. Ingredients: Chicken Thighs (4 pieces): Choose bone-in, skin-on thighs for extra flavor and juiciness. Potatoes (4 medium-sized): Washed, peeled, and cut into bite-sized chunks. Carrots (4 medium-sized): Peeled and sliced into rounds for a burst of color and sweetness. Brussel Sprouts (5 ounces “about 1 ½ cups”): Fresh and vibrant, brussel sprouts add a nutritious crunch. Olive Oil (3 tablespoons): For a healthy dose of good fats and to coat the ingredients. Garlic (4 cloves): Minced for a robust flavor that permeates the dish. Italian Seasoning (2 teaspoons): A pre-mixed blend of oregano, basil, thyme, and other herbs for an aromatic touch. Any other seasoning you desire. Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a large bowl, toss the chicken thighs, potatoes, carrots, and brussel sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. Arrange the chicken and vegetables on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the entire pan to taste. Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serving Suggestions: Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon for a burst of freshness. Pair with a simple side salad or a dollop of your favorite sauce for added flavor. Why We Love It: Effortless Preparation: With just seven ingredients, this recipe minimizes prep time and cleanup.
