    • Sheet Pan Honey Garlic Chicken

    Sheet pan meals are not just easy to make, they can super flavorful and yummy too! Sheet pan chicken meals have come to my rescue on many a weeknight, and on days when I couldn't be bothered to make elaborate meals.

    Chicken and potatoes are a combination that is perfect for sheet pan meals. The two ingredients cook at the same time and can be flavoured with any combination of spices and condiments. If you've been a reader of my blog, you'll know that I absolutely adore honey and garlic - I use these to make the marinade for my honey chili prawns, tamarind and honey-glazed salmon, and many more.

    This recipe is packed with flavor - the chicken, potatoes, and carrots roast in a marinade made with honey and garlic and the roasting juices are SO GOOD!
