I’ve got another super easy, flavorful, meal-prep-worthy sheet pan dinner that’s perfect for busy weeknights.
This beautiful sheet pan sesame chicken and asparagus takes just 15 minutes to prep and is packed with tons of veggies and protein. It’s truly as easy as whipping up a sauce, chopping your veggies, and baking everything right on one pan.
Easy dinner AND easy cleanup? That’s all I need when I’m busy chasing my 2 kiddos around all week. There are tons of ways to make it your own, too, so remember to check out all of my tips!
