Quick, easy, and very tasty – a great choice for a busy weeknight, and can be scaled up easily to feed a larger group. Chicken thighs also help keep costs down, and come out very juicy and tender.
This dish uses a cooking technique called “sheet baking”, which is nothing more than using a large baking sheet rather than a casserole dish. It’s a good choice if you’re preparing items like meats or vegetables that don’t involve lots of sauces. It’s especially handy if you’re cooking a larger quantity to feed a crowd for a family get-together or party.
