Pan-Roasted Chicken and Vegetables
“This one-dish roast chicken with vegetables tastes as if it took hours of hands-on time to put together, but the simple ingredients can be prepped in mere minutes. The rosemary gives it a rich flavour, and the meat juices cook the veggies to perfection. It’s unbelievably easy!” —Sherri Melotik, Oak Creek, Wisconsin
