I am a huge fan of anything that will allow me to multitask in life! I love the idea of tossing something into the oven with very minimal prep while simultaneously getting the kids in the shower and cleaning up the living room. Nothing better then coming back to a healthy meal that awaits me in the oven that makes me look like I spent all day cooking for my family! Did I mention this is ONE pan so that means very little clean up! YES PLEASE!

This recipe to the Lemon Chicken and Asparagus is a practical, quick and delicious meal just by tossing everything on a baking sheet and letting it do it’s thing! Juicy, lemony chicken with a side crunch of asparagus.
