{One-Pan Roast Chicken with Root Vegetables}

What are you having for supper? This is a great recipe for busy moms!

Everything in one pan! There would be more carrots in my pan, BUT

my 4 year old ate 3/4 of the bag! :) The great thing about this recipe is that

you can make it ahead of time and toss it in the oven about 45 minutes

before supper time!
