Attention busy moms! This is the easiest family meal you’ll make this week. Sheet pan chicken and potatoes topped with classic caprese salad flavors. Tomatoes and cheese anyone? An easy healthy weeknight meal that’s budget friendly and works for your busy schedule.
Pah-pa-rah!!! That’s a trumpet noise indicating that I finally wrapped up the insanity that was my schedule lately. All deadlines were met, Jenny’s baby shower was a smashing success, and I’m finally able to take a second just to breathe.
Listen, I love to be busy, but I know myself well enough to know I need a least a couple of down-time days interspersed in the midst of the craziness just to keep my head on straight.
That’s what I’m up to this week.
Chill time. Tinkering around the house. Surfing the web for studio furnishings. Catching up on my Bravo TV.
Starting next week it’s back to the crazy time schedule.
One thing I learned throughout the last few weeks is how to throw together a fast and easy meal that isn’t a salad. Generally when I get slammed I go for
A. random snacking
B. takeout
C. salad
The longer these periods of non-stop work last, the more I need REAL MEALS to fuel my body. I can get by on snacks for a few days, but 6 weeks of non-stop work requires carbs and protein.
Presenting the sheet pan chicken meal. Add all ingredients to a sheet pan. Bake. Eat.
It’s the busy lady’s best friend.
Sheet pan meal recipes can be made with salmon, chicken, beef, you name it. Add your favorite vegetables and a few potatoes and you’re in business. It’s a great option for anyone who is short on time, but craves a complete meal in order to keep moving.
Check out my video below that shows you just how easy a sheet pan chicken (or other protein) meal it can be!
