This meal’s got it all…tasty, tender meat, hearty, flavorful veggies, all in one pan!  So stinkin’ easy, you’ve gotta love it!!  I slightly adapted the recipe for One Pan Lemon Chicken with Butternut Squash and Brussel Sprouts from Damn Delicious and couldn’t have been more pleased!  Grab yourself these ingredients and make this for dinner this week. We even had enough for leftovers!  Enjoy!
