This means you wont end up needing to purchase last-minute un-healthy fast food. You can prep the entire weeks meals on the weekend so you’ll always have tasty healthy food at reach. I assure you it’s well worth the extra effort and will also save you a lot of money.

That raw chicken touching vegetables makes me incredibly uncomfortable, even if its all going to be cooked raw chicken should not be touching anything else, thats very dangerous!

Beth The vegetables are being heated to the same temperature as the chicken, what part of that is dangerous? if there’s bacteria remaining in the vegetables, it’s going to be In the chicken too. use common sense? and if you lack that, google it beforehand.

If you use frozen broccoli florets do they need to defrost or can bake frozen straight out of the bag?

The first step is to pre-heat the oven to 450F. You can reheat in microwave, stove-top or oven as needed.
