Everyone Will Love This Honey Garlic Butter Chicken


If you're like me and would rather wipe down your cast iron than clean a sheet pan (because parchment paper doesn't always cut it), then this recipe is for you. Not only is this dish packed with tasty winter vegetables and chicken, but the whole thing easily cooks while you're wrangling kids (or dogs!), or while you're zoning out on your social media feed.
When it comes to roasted vegetables, I have a personal tendency to crowd the pan. The good news is that in this recipe, that's exactly what you're supposed to do. After a quick sear on some chicken, everything is tossed with a finger-licking good sauce made of honey, mustard, garlic, and butter along with some seasonings to top it all off.
Once your vegetables are prepped and the chicken is seared, everything is tossed in the same pan your chicken was seared in and popped in the oven until they've reached roasty-toasty awesomeness! You add some chopped walnuts and cranberries in at the end to add crunch and sweetness. There's little cleanup or fuss, and a whole lot of flavor.
If you're a Sunday night meal prepper, this recipe is a great candidate. If you prep all the ingredients in advance then you can simply pop things in a pan when you return home from work at the end of a long day! It takes about 45 minutes to make in total, including 30 minutes in the oven. Score.

Top 5 Benefits of Pink Himalayan Salt

Top 5 Benefits of Pink Himalayan Salt There are many awesome h ealth benefits of Himalayan salt, with the following as some of my favorites. 1. Improves Respiratory Problems According to the Lung Institute, salt is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, loosens excessive mucus and speeds up mucus clearance, removes pathogens in the air like pollen, and decreases IgE level (immune system oversensitivity). ( 7 ) If you Google “Himalayan salt cave,” you see that there are now salt caves made of Himalayan salt all over the country (and world) so people can experience the beneficial health effects, especially when it comes to the respiratory system. There is actually a term for this type of natural treatment. It’s called halotherapy. Derived from the Greek word for salt, “halos,” halotherapy or salt therapy is the inhalation of micronized dry salt within a chamber that mimics a salt cave. Studies have shown halotherapy to be a highly effective d...

7 Simple Exercises That Undo the Damage of Sitting

If you’re like most men living and working in a techno-service economy, you probably spend a good deal of your day sitting down. You go from the kitchen table to your desk at work to your chair in front of the TV. But as we’ve discussed before, spending most of your waking hours planted on your keister is terrible for your health. You’ve probably experienced those moments when you get up from a sitting position and your butt feels numb and your hips feel so tight that you have to lean forward at the waist just to walk. Excessive sitting leaves your hips and legs tight and your glutes inactive. Even after you stand up, the ill effects of sitting stay with you and may prevent your butt muscles from firing at an optimal level when you really need them – like when you suddenly need to chase down a purse snatcher! Some fitness experts argue that sitting causes muscles in the hip area to physically shorten (and stay shorter), even after you stand up. While there are no scient...

Hurts So Good: A Beginner’s Guide Self-Myofascial/Trigger Point Release

Image
We can’t all afford a personal masseuse or athletic trainer to regularly rub out the kinks, soreness, and tight spots in our muscles. But there is a way to massage oneself, with the benefit of being able to control exactly where and how much pressure to apply. For that reason, in recent years, doing exercises with foam rollers, massage balls, and the like has gained immense popularity. Yet with new products and cheesy accompanying infomercials coming out all the time, knowing what to do and how to do it can be an intimidating task. At worst, doing exercises wrong can lead to pain and discomfort, and ultimately injury. You may have heard varying terms for these exercises: trigger point release, active release techniques, or perhaps something similar. The technical term, however, is self-myofascial release (SMR). Other terms may mean different things for different people, so we’ll stick with SMR for the purposes of this post. Benefits of Foam Rolling Let’s dissect this science-...
