I love a good one-sheet meal. They truly put the “quick” in #quickpaleomeals! Not only is this easy, delicious family meal a time saver, but I find it to also be budget-friendly using just 3 main ingredients: flavorful chicken thighs, celery ribs and a favorite and cheap root vegetable, carrots!

      I don’t see Rosemary either but I have a great Olive oil infused with Rosemary so I’ll use that and garnish with fresh Rosemary after cooking.
