This week follows a rhythm that we’ve come to love. We start with a hands-off chicken dinner that sets you up for an easy end-of-week pasta salad: one cook, two meals, minimal effort. In between we've got a sheet pan gnocchi that smells absolutely incredible and a fresh sushi bowl that feels a little fancy without requiring much from you at all. We also threw in a broccoli slaw you can prep on the weekend and snack on all week. It's a good one.


DINNER #1: Change Your Life Chicken | Total time: 1 hour | Mostly hands off |Serves: 4
We’ve made change your life chicken probably fifteen times and the move that changes everything is doubling the chicken. It’s five extra minutes of effort, and Thursday dinner is halfway done. You will use bone-in skin-on chicken thighs, which might be new for some to work with, but her method makes it so easy. You’ll need about an hour for it to cook, but after you prep the chicken and veggies, it’s completely hands off.

For this we want you to double the chicken for another meal. You don’t need to double the veggies, you can even do the extra chicken on a separate pan if you want to and just cook it next to the one for tonight. When it’s done, pull it off the bone and put it in a container for later in the week.

Notes: We included our preferred veggies on the grocery list, but you can to swap any of the ones she suggested.
