This is the perfect, quick dinner to throw together tonight!
you're making mealtime meaningful.
There are times when we want to go all out for our family dinners…and then there are times when we want to be able to throw something together that’s quick, delicious and healthy – which is exactly where this one-pan maple dijon chicken comes into play. Forget having a dish in the oven along with three pots on the stove, with this one, you can toss everything together in one bowl, then put it all on a pan and pop it in the oven.
The genius here is that everything cooks at the same time: the chicken, the brussels sprouts and the butternut squash. The maple dijon sauce is a breeze to whip up, tastes amazing, and is flavorful, yet still light enough to let all the great natural flavor of the ingredients shine through.
Whether you turn to this after a busy day or for when you want to have friends over, it’s a great option that will never let you down – how could you say no to something that’s this easy, tasty and healthy to boot? We know we couldn’t!
