Drummond took a basic recipe for chicken and potatoes and elevated it with both lemon and thyme to create a taste sensation.

Preparing meals on a sheet pan will “make your cooking life complete,” says Drummond during an episode of her Food Network series The Pioneer Woman.
Drummond is a massive champion of sheet pan meals.
“Once I discovered that you could throw everything on a sheet pan and cook the whole meal together, I was hooked for life,” she said on the Food Network website.
The relative ease of these meals leaves home cooks with fewer dishes and a clean slate where any combination of foods is possible.
For one creation, Drummond has deliciously combined chicken, tomatoes, and ciabatta bread.
She used salmon, red peppers, red onions, green olives, and cubes of sourdough bread in a second recipe.
