Roasted Lemon Garlic Chicken & Veggies

Wednesday, March 13, 2013

From our skinny table to yours ...

Tonight we're making a super simple roasted chicken & veggie supper. Not only is this easy to prepare but it's a one dish meal which means easy cleanup & we love that!

 
This meal is truly about learning the method verse the recipe. We used a combination of squash, carrots and brussel sprouts (if you think you don't like these, try them again because they are delicious when roasted!) but you can use any veggies you have on hand. Asparagus, zucchini, cauliflower, red bell peppers or sweet potatoes would all be delicious here. Then season this up with fresh lemon slices, garlic, onion and fresh basil. Top your veggies with lean chicken breast and toss to combine all the flavors. Pop this in the oven for about 30-40 minutes depending on the size of your chicken & veggie chunks and you're done. It's that easy!


 
Hope you enjoy this one :)
