Dinner has to be made

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I am right there in the trenches of crazy-busy-unpredictable life with y’all. I work full-time as a teacher, part-time with this little blog and am a whole-hearted mama and wife every waking moment. Life is beautiful for sure, but stupid busy a good chunk of time.

But no matter how wild life gets, dinner still has to get made. That is as sure as taxes and death. I used to resort to frozen dinners and takeout to get food on the table at the end of a nuts-o day (and don’t get me wrong, takeout still happens once in a while), but in my older and wiser and real food years, I have learned lots of tricks for getting a homemade dinner on the table much, much (read: much) easier.

Love for one-sheet meals

One of my favorite tricks to keeping sanity and real food both a part of my life are one-sheet, one-skillet, and one-pot meals. Seriously, guys. If you haven’t discovered the glory of one-pot/sheet/skillet meals, your mind is about to be blown.

One-something-or-other dishes are so amazing and busy-life-changing because they are all naturally easy, simple, and (here is my favorite part) create less dishes to do at the end of the day.

I really hate dishes. But doesn’t everyone? And real food cooking can make a boatload of them. But not with one-something-or-other recipes!

So my love of one-something-or-other meals was my main inspiration for this recipe.  Truly, that was it. The need for more meals that made as few dishes as possible. It’s not a romantic story, but it is also the truth. Necessity is the mother of invention after all…..and I needed recipes that allowed me to do more home cooking with less mess. End of story. 

Less-mess rosemary baked chicken

But, lucky for us all, this less-mess One-Sheet Rosemary Baked Chicken & Sweet Potatoes came out a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Drool inducing, actually. And it is easy and healthy to boot! It’s kind of a fairy tale dinner, if you will. Healthy meets delicious meets easy meets minimal dishes. And it is sure to become part of your regular dinner line-up

Ingredients 

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes washed and diced
  • 2 pounds chicken breasts cut in half if breasts are extra thick
