I love the Fall season with all the great veggies that are available this time of year! Pumpkin, sweet potato, asparagus, squash….plus the spices that go with them like cloves, nutmeg, pumpkin spice! Ok my taste buds are watering just writing this!
Being a working mom and keeping up with our kids schedules (like most of us these days) I need dinner to be quick, simple yet healthy. I love when I come across one pan meals as these are exactly what I need plus less mess to clean up! Score! The veggies are interchangeable to your liking but I honestly have only tried chicken for the protein. But feel free to let your creative juices take over and switch it up to your liking. Depending on the protein you use, the cooking time may differ.
Top it off with chopped pecans or walnuts (for those omega 6’s) and some dried cherries or cranberries to add a little sweetness! Truly a tasty Fall dish!!!
Tip: I have the veggies & chicken cut up and prepped ahead of time with the spices so all that I need to do is add them to the pan.
