One-Pan Baked Lemon Chicken w/ Vegetables

One-Pan Baked Lemon Chicken w/ Vegetables - An easy and healthy weeknight meal! If you are a fan of one-pot meals, you will love this. 

Some nights I need to have a quick and easy options for dinner. Or I resort to take-out, like Chinese or pizza from the local pizzeria. I'm sure I'm not the only one, especially when you have littles running around begging you, "When's dinner?" I suspect that was me as a child, too.

This past year I have fallen in love with one-pan and one-dish meals. How can you not? They are simple where you add everything to one pan or pot and bake it for a certain amount of time. Hardly any no prep-time is needed for these types of meals.

One-Pot Summer Vegetable Pasta

During the summer when the vegetables are thriving in the garden, we have one-pot summer vegetable pasta quite a few times a month. Or even 15-minute one-pot taco pasta, it's unreal how quickly this dinner comes together!

Now this one-pan baked lemon chicken with vegetables is a delicious and healthy meal. It's not loaded with weird ingredients, just wholesome vegetables and meat. I am a carb-loving gal, but sometimes just delicious meat and vegetables is all I want.

Another I absolutely love about this one-pan meal, you can add any kind of vegetables you may have on hand. You can use fresh or frozen vegetables, as well. I used frozen broccoli and green beans. I always pick up a big bag at our local warehouse store, BJ's.

For the baking sheet, I highly recommend a medium-to-large one, like this half-sheet pan. I use mine for anything and everything. Definitely a kitchen gadget worth investing in.
