With two packages of chicken thighs I had in the fridge, a large carrot and a few potatoes found in the pantry, I turned to LivingLou.com to find suggestions for an easy meal using these few ingredients. Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs with Roasted Vegetables to the rescue.

I love how easy this dish is to make, and because I’m using one sheet pan and one bowl, clean up is easy, too.
