Hello Friends!
We are heading quickly towards the weekend - yay! I'm so looking forward to our annual girlfriend Christmas get together I'll be hosting here Saturday. I plan to soak up the last of the Christmas tree and glow extra over the weekend. ;)
What do you have planned?
It will also be a bit of indulging as we do a fun potluck for our gathering. But Matt & I have already been working on some of our new year goals for better health. I have been walking every day instead of being so sporadic. And we have been making sure we up our veggies and lean protein in many of our meals. I made this really easy and VERY yummy sheet pan dinner the other night. The marinade is amazing and would be good used in other ways too.
It was one I found from my sheet pan meals board on pinterest and it's a recipe by family table vibes website found here. She looked like she has lots of yummy recipes if you want to check it out.
But Matt & I both loved this stir fry tasting easy meal that had lots of yummy veggies and baked chicken. You add the cashews at the end so they get a little roasted but are still crunchy. So good!
You let the chicken marinade a while and in the meantime prep all the veggies:
Then put it all in an even layer in the sheet pan and bake. So very easy! I did use fresh ginger (which I think really made the marinade so flavorful) - but I think powdered ginger would work too. I didn't have cilantro so didn't garnish with that and it was still amazing.
I will add this to my list. I've been cooking a lot of sheet pan meals lately. Sam is very limited on the foods he can eat right now, but veggies are something he needs. since he can't really eat meat, I throw me a piece of chicken or some shrimp on the sheet pan as well.. Makes for a much easier meal..
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good! I've saved it and will be trying it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat looks good, even to a deep-fried fanatic such as myself. The only change I would suggest would be boneless chicken thighs, I've had an issue with chicken breasts drying out in the oven.
ReplyDeleteCarrie, that meal looks so delicious! Thanks for the recipe :) Have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great time with the girls, I haven't made a sheet pan meal yet but it does sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delish! I am definitely trying this! Your girlfriend party sounds fun! x x
