Sometimes one-pot (or one-pan) meals are a wonder…on a busy day….for a busy family.  To just throw everything together and VOILA!  …30 minutes later you have an easy and tasty dinner.
I put this dish together tonight and it was a big time saver, and it was really tasty, too!

Did you know that a great way to get organic or free-range chicken at a good price is just to buy the bone-in cuts?  For example, at Costco – we can get organic chicken drumsticks in bulk at $1.89/lb.  Boneless, skinless cuts of organic chicken are usually well over $5/lb, so this is a great option when you’re meal planning for a weeknight dinner.

I like the flavor of this dish because of the mustard and celery salt.  Celery salt or celery powder is one of my favorite seasonings for a chicken dish.  It adds such a great flavor.

This is a quick and easy dinner to throw together.  You can have it as it is or add a salad on the side.  A Caesar salad would be a great choice.

Sheet-Pan Mustard Chicken with Carrots

Ingredients:

• 1.5-2 lbs. carrots, peeled and chopped
• 10-12 chicken drumsticks
• 2 Tbsp. avocado oil, olive oil, or melted butter
• 1 Tbsp. each garlic powder and onion powder, plus more for sprinkling
• 1 tsp. each black pepper, salt, and celery salt, plus more for sprinkling
• 2-3 Tbsp. each of Dijon and stone ground mustard

Add chopped carrots to a large baking sheet and drizzle with oil/butter.  Add the measured seasonings and mix to coat.

Push carrots to the sides of the pan so there is an open space in the middle. Put the drumsticks in the center and sprinkle with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and celery salt to taste.

Put mustards into a small bowl and use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the chicken generously with the mustard mix.

Bake at 375º for 35-45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Enjoy!
