I’ve been enjoying lots of lemon lately. My nutritionist says that’s it’s very beneficial to detoxing the liver, it also aids in digestion, rejuvenates skin and boosts energy levels. I decided to keep the trend going with this Lemon Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner with Croutons. I’ve made this dish several times with a whole chicken but to save time, I decided to use chicken parts and roast everything on a sheet pan for convenience.

This Lemon Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner with Croutons is loaded with flavor without all of the extra effort of roasting and stuffing an entire chicken. I used organic, no hormone added chicken legs an thighs, organic lemons and green beans. I even made my own homemade croutons from fresh french bread. Who doesn’t love a homemade croutons?!?!? This Lemon Sheet Pan Chicken with Croutons is just what the doctor ordered. I sure hope you give it a try!!!

We are what we consume, right? This holds true even spiritually! A spiritual detox????

Day 1: Repent From Sin – Psalm 32:5 reads, Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.  (NLT). Rid yourself of old baggage in the form of bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness. Ephesians 4:31-32 states, Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Day 2: God’s Word instructs us to draw near to Him and allow our hearts to be cleansed. “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” – Psalm 51:10 (KJV).

Day 3: Renew your mind with the Word of God. “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” Romans 12:2 (NLT).

Say Grace and enjoy!!
