Sheet pan meals are basically my favorite thing ever!

I know I have said that about a lot of things but the ease of these meals cannot be beaten!

They cook up fast, prep time is almost non-existent and then I throw it in the oven, and BOOM dinner.

This version is made with boneless skinless chicken thighs which are again – one of my favorites. I have them in my freezer at all times because they can be ready in no time and can stand up to a big dose of flavor.

For this recipe, they are lightly seasoned and roasted up with sliced lemons, fresh thyme, and mushrooms.

After you pull it out of the oven it’s drizzled with a garlic parsley sauce.

Sweet baby J it’s delicious!

Sheet pans are basically my lazy day meals.

I’ve been so low energy lately that I only want to cook super simple meals.

Seriously, this cold I got after getting back from San Francisco has kicked my butt. It’s one of those colds that the second you think you’re feeling better BOOM you’re not.

Today I was sure I was getting better and then I was so tired all day I felt drugged and my throat was sore again.

Colds are so hella annoying.

So I’ve been living off zinc cold drops (which leave such a gross metallic taste in my mouth), super spicy ginger tea, and crazy easy meals like this sheet pan garlic lemon chicken, and mushrooms.

Thank goodness for easy meals and hot tea.
