This is the kind of thing I cook, when I don't really feel like cooking, but still want a decent meal.
I grab the sheet pan oven trays, and just fill them with things that can be cooked in the oven. Throw them in, and let the oven do the work. It only requires about 15mins of prep, and then about 5mins to finish/garnish afterwards, and viola - a tasty dinner is served, with little effort 😍😍 Looks like lots of effort 😅
》Chicken pieces $5.50 - drizzled with olive oil + sprinkled with Magic Dust. Placed on lined oven tray, top shelf in oven 200°C for approx 1 hour, turning over half-way through cooking time
After cooking: spoon pan juices over chicken, serve with lemon wedges + freshly chopped parsley (both from our garden). Squeeze on lemon juice just before eating
》Potatoes + Pumpkin, approx $2.50 - drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with chicken stock powder. Placed on lined oven tray, middle shelf 200°C for approx 45mins - 1 hour, turning over half-way through cooking time.
After cooking:
• Potatoes - seasoned with chicken salt
• Pumpkin - drizzled with pomegranate glaze, and crumbled feta (i also love fig glaze on the pumpkin)
》 Snow peas - ~$2 served as is, for some crunch
》Peas $3.60 (2 x cans at $1.80 each) - my kids weirdly LOVE canned peas, so I'm going to roll with it as long as I can, just to get peas into their diet
》Total meal cost $13.60《 with a little bit leftover of each things - enough to make a portion for hubby's work lunch 🎉
