This Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner is super healthy, super simple, and super easy to adapt if you have food sensitivities (which are a very common contributor to joint pain and inflammation and fatigue). Or to adapt to whatever veggies you have lying around that lend themselves well to roasting.
All the vegetables included in this recipe are mega important for supporting your body’s detox abilities, which is also very important for reducing inflammation, long-term healing, and energy. (I always teach how to support detox in my courses.) Garlic, onion, cruciferous veggies like Brussel sprouts, broccoli or cauliflower, and deep orange veggies all contain super important compounds many of us are lacking for our liver to properly neutralize the many toxins we are exposed to daily.
It also has a healthy dose of protein and anti-inflammatory fats. Don’t let anyone tell you fats are bad! Plentiful doses of the right types of fats are essential for joint pain disease. Avoid trans-fats and vegetable oils like corn and canola. (I also cover fats in my courses. It’s so important.)
Without further adieu… here is the recipe. Be sure to let me know how it goes!
