I am always up for simple and healthy recipes that my family will actually eat. My husband is not a big meat or seafood eater (yes, makes for interesting dinners) so I have to look for recipes that he might like as well.

When I heard what was included in this recipe: chicken, potatoes, garlic, tomatoes, fresh thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper I was sold. That is a fairly easy shopping list so…
