This one sheet pan chicken recipe is great for busy weeknight dinners. Put every thing on a sheet pan, shove it into oven, and let the oven take care of rest.
Meanwhile you can take care of other things or rest yourself. Another good thing about sheep pan recipes is less dishes to wash! So why not to love this recipe? Simple and good and a result everyone loves!
This recipe requires marinating time, so if you can do it the night before it will be easier for your next day's dinner.
Fiona was a single mom with three young boys. The sons still remember that every evening when she came back from work she was rushed through cooking.
And at that time, she didn't have this recipe, or any ideas about sheet pan recipes...
According to her sons many of her meals were a bit burned. Poor Fiona, she so rushed cooking to feed hungry mouthes...
After dinner, the kids shared the chores, washing dishes and stuff..and Fiona always said I'm going to close my eyes for just five minutes.
And of course as anyone would guess that was often the end of her day...good night.
