We know that weekday dinners are a constant challenge for busy families. It is so easy to just call in a pizza or go through the drive through when you are at the end of the day and are tired. But we have a few ideas to make dinner time easy, tasty AND healthy! All it takes is some extra planning ahead and you won't have to scramble and settle for fast food. Try this recipe for an easy weeknight dinner:
Roasted Rosemary Chicken
small potatoes (any kind will do; omit for low carb)
2 carrots
2 zucchini
2 Tbs EVOO
2 Tbs dijon type mustard
2 Tbs chopped rosemary
salt + pepper
4-5 skinless/boneless chicken breasts
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel the carrots. Chop the carrots + zucchini into matchsticks. Quarter the potatoes. Mix carrots, zucchini, potatoes, EVOO, 1 tbs rosemary, 2 Tbs mustard in a bowl. Season chicken breast with salt, pepper and remaining rosemary. Place chicken in a roasting pan (in the video you see that I lined my pan with foil for easy clean up!). Place the vegetables over/around the chicken. Bake for 20 mins. then turn the chicken and toss the vegetables around. Bake for 20 more mins. or until chicken is cooked through. Enjoy!
Honestly, the hardest part was chopping the vegetables. You can even chop these the night before to save even more time! You can also adjust this to cook more at the same time for meal planning/lunches. Let us know if you try this recipe at home. Tag us in your pictures!
