Can we all band together and agree that cooking in the evenings needs to be as quick, easy, and painless as possible? This Taco Sheet Pan Chicken recipe is in collaboration with Mazola® Corn Oil. A recent study has found that adding Mazola® Corn Oil to one’s diet resulted in lower cholesterol levels than Coconut Oil. A previous study found that corn oil can also help lower cholesterol more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about the study, see Mazola.com. To learn more about how you can use Mazola® Corn Oil to make a delicious meal for Taco Tuesday or any other night, read on below!

 

When it comes to cooking oils, I am extremely picky. Oils make me nervous in general, but the thought of adding in a cooking oil to any dish that is bad for you just gives me the chills. I love Mazola® Corn Oil since it has a neutral flavor, and won’t overpower your dish, and since it has a high smoke point of 450 degrees, it can be used in a variety of different cooking methods, and is a better-for-you option than other cooking oils. In fact, a clinical study showed Mazola® Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about this claim, see Mazola.com. It’s an all-around happy option for my kitchen!

 

In my daily life, I want MINIMAL dishes, one form of cooking, and an easy, all-in-one dish meal. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for! And as a matter of fact, I make this happen SO OFTEN at my house by doing Sheet Pan Meals. I love using chicken, but I have done them with beef, shrimp, sausage, and more!  I hope you try it out and enjoy! It’s easy to use Mazola® Corn Oil and make some ingredient swaps to allow for a better-for-you taco night!

 

You can swap out a taco shell for some fresh vegetables, sub in sweet potatoes instead of rice, and swap out the vegetable oil for Mazola® Corn Oil! All together, these swaps make the meal lighter and better-for-you, and the only carbs you’re getting are the ones found naturally in the vegetables. Check out the quick, delicious recipe for Taco Sheet Pan Chicken below that will surely be a hit in your home for dinner!
