One-Pot Wonders: Delicious Meals Without a Slow Cooker

Sheet Pan Suppers:

  • Roasted Chicken and Vegetables: Toss bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with olive oil, herbs, and spices. Arrange them on a sheet pan with chopped vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and onions. Roast until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender.
  • Sausage and Pepper Fajitas: Preheat the oven and line a sheet pan with foil. Slice bell peppers and onions, and toss them with olive oil and fajita seasoning. Arrange on the pan and roast until softened. Meanwhile, cook sausage links in a skillet until browned. Serve the roasted veggies and sausage with tortillas, salsa, and your favorite fajita toppings www.kalou-and-cook.com/.
