Roasted Chicken with Vegetables

 This tender Roasted Chicken with Vegetables is a super easy, delicious week night meal that your whole family will love!
I love chicken. I could eat it almost everyday and at times in my life I probably have. I don’t eat red meat and haven’t for most of my life, but I somehow manage to continue to love chicken. Maybe because it is easy to cook? maybe because it is so versatile in recipes? who knows? It’s my go to meat when scanning a restaurant menu or planning a quick meal, with that said… I’ll admit, raw meat creeps me out! I keep a pack of disposable kitchen gloves in the drawer above my cutting boards just for handling raw meat. Gross stuff aside, I absolutely adore this roasted chicken with vegetables!
It’s an easy, delicious meal, that for a small family like mine yields leftovers. Plus, can I just say, how nice it is to cook once or twice a week and have enough leftovers to throw together fast meals on the days in between. I made this meal Tuesday, used leftovers to make potpie for Wednesday and still had enough chicken to made BBQ sandwiches on Friday = score. This meal comes together fairly quickly, the oven does all the hard work – while you take the credit and there is only one pan to dirty. What else can I say other than, you should give this recipe a try; enjoy and happy baking!

    Looks delicious, I roasted a chicken this very morning, and now I wish I’d seen this post before I whacked that bird in the oven.
