Oven Roasted Chicken And Veggies With Turmeric
A large half-sheet baking pan is an essential kitchen tool; fill them up with well-seasoned chicken and any combination of your favorite roasting veggies. The key to even cooking is being sure everything is cut up into similar sizes—and chicken thighs need a little longer to cook so team up well with root vegetables. One-pan dinners are not only efficient to make, they’re even easier to clean up.
