This supper reminds me of summertime in Italy, and it’s as simple and delicious as it gets: Toss chicken and veggies on a sheet pan, bake, and eat. Cleanup is easy-peasy, too.

    extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Grab some Magic Mushroom Powder. Heat the oven to 425°F on convection mode or 450°F on regular mode with the rack in the middle position.

  5. Pop the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 15 to 25 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through cooking.

  6. Check to make sure the chicken pieces are cooked through (an inserted meat thermometer should read 165°F) and the green beans are blistered.
