As you can probably imagine, we do a lot of dinner research in our house.

And, when I say "research," I mean trying new recipes, testing times to make sure tasty meals are under 45 minutes, updating old favorites, and - yep - eating a lot of new meals.

I do enjoy my research.

If you enjoyed Dijon-Roasted Chicken and Carrots, give Healthy Tandoori Chicken a try! It offers the same tender, juicy chicken with a flavorful marinade, but with a smoky, spiced twist.

One very awesome benefit from all this research is it has brought my family some very delicious dinners into our weeknight dinner routine.  One extremely yummy dinner is the Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce and Roasted Sweet Potatoes.

And another new favorite is this Dijon-Roasted Chicken And Carrots.  Oh my goodness, this meal is tasty.

Ad healthy. And super fast. And incredibly simple to make.

Awesome, right?

    I adapted this to a sheet pan frozen meal, and it has become our go-to in the house on days I work late! Once a month or so I just chop up a whole bunch of chicken and carrots, and throw them in gallon ziplocks with the oil, lemon, and spices. They all go in the freezer. My kids are able to grab one, thaw it enough to spread it on a sheet pan, and pop it in the oven. I get home, microwave some brown rice, and we have a wonderful meal! It's really delicious. Thank you!

    I don’t have any lemons. Can I splash a bit of red wine vinegar?
