Roasted Chicken with Vegetables

We all need those meals that can be assembled at the end of the day with minimal time and effort. This is one of those meals. So quick and easy, healthy and delicious….what more could we want! Roasted chicken with vegetables looks and tastes like you spent on a long time on it, but can be prepared very quickly.

In this post I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts as they were on sale, but have also made it with bone-in chicken breasts with the same delicious results, I just add a few more minutes on the cook time.

This roasted chicken with vegetables recipe works with onions, zucchini, carrots, etc. I often use a mixture, but on this day I only used potatoes and peppers. I had some fresh rosemary that I needed to use up, and fresh herbs are delicious in this roasted type meal, but if you don’t have any on hand, use dried basil, or whatever herb you prefer.
