My Favorite Fall Recipe

I must admit I am not a person who loves to cook.  Maybe it’s because I don’t have a sense of smell (strange, I know!) but whatever the reason is, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite easy to put together recipes, One Pan Autumn Chicken Dinner. It’s delicious and only requires one pan for cooking (BONUS: less dirty dishes!)

I love the way the veggies and apples complement the chicken. And since everything is roasted together the flavors have a chance to meld during that cook time.

This meal just has fall written all over it with its seasonal veggies and the fact that it’s just total good for the soul comfort food perfect for a cool breezy fall day.

Check it out below!

Happy Cooking!
