LEMON CHICKEN TRAY BAKE
By Katie Jenson-Hull / The Radiant Nutritionist
Simplicity is a life lesson we all need to learn in my opinion. Unfortunately, I learnt the hard way a few years ago, when I was on my journey to heal my thyroid. Hence, you will find me talking a lot on the subject. It is a hard lesson to grasp, but once you’ve cracked it, you are laughing. My tip, to ask yourself why am I making things more difficult or complicated than they need to be.
My love of traybakes and cook once, eat twice came out of that era. This lemon chicken tray bake is the easiest meal to create and tastes just as delicious the next day.
