Happy New Year Everyone! What a crazy start to the year! I don’t think there could be a better time for such a quick and easy dinner like this Dijon Chicken Thighs Sheet Pan Meal.
I think we’ve all been hoping for a fresh start and new beginnings in 2021… But with all the chaos in Washington DC, we’re just not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I know my stress levels have been through the roof this past week.
When life gets super stressful, I need a nourishing meal that comes together quick and EASY. Sheet Pan Meals are the answer! What can be easier than throwing all my ingredients onto one pan to cook? And with the added benefit of a quick clean up. I mean this is the true definition of, “winner, winner, chicken dinner”!!
For those of you who are doing the January Whole30 this month (or at anytime) be sure to use a Whole30 compliant Dijon mustard (like Annie’s Naturals Organic Dijon Mustard).
