Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs and Potatoes, Fennel and Carrots is the perfect simple, healthy family dinner. The lemon adds fantastic flavor!

Sheet pan meals can be one of the greatest gifts to all of those who do dishes after dinner. One pan, a few dinner plates and you're finished in time for a good Netflix binge. No one enjoys washing multiple pots and pans after a meal. Especially during the week!

This Lemony Chicken Thighs w/ Fennel, Potatoes and Carrots cooks all on one pan like I promised and makes the perfect meal for the colder weather. There's something about the smells a chicken roasting in the oven that makes for a perfect Fall comfort food meal.

To give your veggies and chicken a little extra crispiness, preheat your sheet pan in the oven while warming up. Once it's hot add your veggies and place your chicken on the pan skin side down.

You can also make this meal work for you with dietary restrictions. Just simply swap the vegetables for those that work for you. Just make sure they have the same cooking time as the rest of the meal.

Enjoy!
