Sheet Pans FTW
We are always on board for one pan and sheet pan meals because they make clean up that much easier. Depending on the size of your sheet pans, you might be able to use just two pans if yours are pretty large, otherwise, you might have to use three smaller sheet pans. Either way, a quick tip to aid cleanup is to line your sheet pans with parchment paper. Then, you can simply toss the parchment away when you go to clean up dinner and give your pans a quick rinse as needed.
A Variety Of Flavors + Colors
It’s always great when you can throw together a meal that has a solid variety of flavors and colors. We used sweet potatoes (which you could sub with the squash of your choice) broccoli and red onion. Plus, some simple seasonings combine to give these ingredients some serious flavor! Add a little squeeze of lemon juice over everything and creamy avocado after it has cooked and your tastebuds will be so happy!
Simple + Delicious
It is always our goal to make our recipes easy to follow and with simple ingredients. It really doesn’t have to be complicated or hard to cook up a tasty meal for you and your family. We think the whole family will enjoy this easy to make chicken sweet potato bake!
