Looking for a quick, easy, not a lot of dishes kind of meal? Well, you found it!
This Garlic Lemon Thyme Chicken is quick to prepare and clean up is a breeze.
My family eats a lot of vegetables so this recipe is great for us. You can add as many vegetables as you can eat and you can easily substitute the carrots and brussel sprouts for another kind of veggie. There are also potatoes added to the dish so it makes a hearty meal and you don’t have to prepare anything else.
This is a great meal to make if you are having a busy day or if you just don’t want to do a lot of dishes, which is everyday in my house 
.
What I like about this meal is while it is baking, I am cleaning up all the dishes and then I usually have about 25-30 minutes where I can do what I like. It might be doing another chore, playing with my kids, or just sitting down and relaxing. This meal also gets eaten up so there are no leftovers.
