Sheet Pan Chicken Meatballs and Charred Broccolini
This easy dinner can be cooked in the time it takes to whip up some rice and get the kids bathed. Super delicious, super simple tray bake dinners!
Welcome to the world of tray bake dinners. We often find as Thermomix peeps, we don't really do this kind of simple easy cooking because we are more focussed on using our wonderful appliance, but this still uses your Thermo and of course, if you are serving this with rice, you'll use it again for that. We are all about simplifying and delishifying your life right now.
Last year was tough, this year has to be better and we hope we can help you with that as you enjoy our new Meal Plan kits coming soon in 2021.
This recipe is a great example of the kind of easy dinner we will be serving up to you in those kits. Get the one or two or three kits to suit you and your family!
