Her messages about intentional living in a sustainable way, achieved by deciding what matters to <em>you<\/em> and being genius about it (and lazy about the things that don&#8217;t) resonate with me. She has a loyal following with good reason- she&#8217;s relatable and helpful!

Prep took me about 15 minutes and it bakes for 50 minutes. I&#8217;m totally fine with this, but it&#8217;s worth nothing it&#8217;s not a 30 minute meal.<\/li>\n<li>I used two pans because it took 6 chicken thighs to feed my family of four. I switched the placement of pans half way through the cooking time.<\/li>\n<li>I loved that there was no clean up! Just toss the foil. However, I&#8217;ll spray the foil next time because some of my veggies got burnt to the foil. Maybe because I used two sheet pans?<\/li>\n<li>The 500 degree temperature made me a little nervous, but she&#8217;s right- it totally works and leads to a delicious crispiness to the chicken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ok, so did it change my life?<\/p>\n<p>You know, it just might have! The whole family loved the taste of the chicken. Seasoning it under the skin and over really made it flavorful! I served it on top of buttered rice (<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2MnJ6h4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">rice cooker<\/a><\/span> for the hands-off win!) and threw some baby spinach under my portion, too.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll make chicken like this again and again now. I&#8217;ll probably stick to potatoes and onions as the veggies on the pan and add a separate green on the side, but I can say with no hesitation whatsoever, that Change Your Life Chicken is a family-friendly recipe you definitely should try!<\/p>\n<p>Like sheet pan meals?
