    Sheet pan dinners are the best! We love both chicken and asparagus, and we have a GIGANTIC basil plant growing in our garden at the moment. What a perfect recipe for us to try!

    We loved this chicken dinner! It was easy to prepare after a day at work and the taste was amazing. I loved how easy it was to put together and there was very little clean up. This chicken will be prepared at least a few times a month in our home!
