I’ve gotten into a really good routine of sharing our suppers on Instagram stories every night. It’s something I do nightly anyway, so sharing it just makes it more fun. And from what I’ve received back, it’s helpful, too (which for this enneagram 7, it is what has helped keep me consistent, too).

It feels like a throwback to old school blogging; no fancy pictures, just me in my kitchen showing you what we are eating for the night and some details about our day. It’s real. It’s connection. It’s fun.

However, it’s made me less consistent with sharing those meals here outside of my monthly meal round ups, which you can always find under Dinner Ideas under the Feeding a Family tab.

So I’m going to do better about sharing the meals in blog format, too, for easier referencing. I got away from it for a bit because writing perfect recipes can be intimidating. As you know, I don’t share my meals because I’m a professional chef, but more so because I’m not. I’m just another mom juggling soccer and swim practice and trying to feed her family wholesome, nutritious meals that they will actually eat. This is one of them!

This chicken thigh and potato sheet pan dinner is in constant rotation around here because it’s simple, cleans up quickly, is versatile (switch up to whatever seasonings or hearty veggies you want), and the kids eat it. H actually calls this meal “yummy chicken” because she likes it so much. For K, I have to pull the chicken off the bone into bite-sized pieces, but she eats it and all the veggies (sometimes with ketchup), so it’s a win.

This meal is great for:

• Nights when you want easy and nutritious.
• Nights when you need affordable (chicken thighs are so much more flavorful than breasts and are so much cheaper).
• Nights when you have time to chop, or chopped the night before.
• Nights when you are at home (it takes an hour to cook, but most of that is hands off).
• Nights when you need easy clean up (just toss the parchment paper and wash the cutting board).

I hope you enjoy this simple chicken thigh and potato sheet pan dinner and hope that you make it your own- your veggies of choice, your preferred seasoning (I prefer the simple one listed below), your favorite dipping sauce. Happy eating!
