ONE PAN MANGO TERIYAKI CHICKEN & VEGGIES

Tender chicken thighs and roasted veggies are glazed with a sweet mango teriyaki sauce for a an easy and incredibly tasty dinner that only uses one pan! You would never guess that this super easy meal is whole30 and paleo friendly either!

12/27/18   Sooooo - we used chicken breasts, which came out dry - but we probably should have doubled the sauce and lowered the oven temperature.

One VERY good change we made was that we followed Brendon's suggestion to add an eggplant to the veggie mix.  Be aware that all of these veggies, including the eggplant were just enough for about 4 people.  They shrink - a lot! The sauce is tasty with a bit of a kick from the pepper flakes, but the spice seems just right.
