One Pan Chicken Sausage Recipe

August 10, 2019

This chicken sausage recipe with fall vegetables is the perfect weeknight meal. One pan, five ingredients and about 40 minutes. It requires little more than a bit of chopping and stirring, which is exactly the amount of effort I can handle after a long day.

We want to eat real food, but we rarely have the time or energy to spend hours preparing it. Generally speaking, those kinds of meals are reserved for the weekends. This dinner is the kind of meal you want to cook during the week. Doing a few minutes of chopping the night before will make this easy weeknight dinner even easier.

Roasted Chicken and Vegetable Sheet Pan Supper

February 28, 2017

Sheet Pan Supper – Chicken and vegetables roasted all together on one pan for a super easy dinner with minimal cleanup. Meals like this are a lifesaver during hectic evenings when you need to get dinner on the table without a lot of effort.

Also known as “clean out the fridge dinners” around here. You know how it goes, you’re running around trying to get everything done, making sure you have clean clothes, the dog is staring at you like “Um, hello… Could I get some food down here too?”. You open the fridge to find some carrots, peppers and maybe a few other veggies. Onions, potatoes and tomatoes are always on hand, so you are halfway home. If you don’t eat meat, or if it’s a “meatless Monday”, you’re done. Otherwise, a couple of chicken breasts thrown on with the veggies and some seasoning makes this a slam dunk in record time. The most time consuming part of this is chopping the vegetables. If I know that I’m facing a busy week, I chop veggies ahead of time and store them in the fridge.
