Chicken thighs are so much juicier, cheaper and better tasting than chicken breast (FACTS). I find them so much more versatile and think they are the perfect portions. If you disagree, well give me an argument and we can talk LOL.
This sheet pan dinner is a great family meal and perfect meal prep for the week. Lots of veggies, juicy chicken and great spices. We love making this in our household as there is always enough for lunches the next day.
