Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Carrots

As I’ve grown up I really love the idea of preparing my food and just tossing it into the oven and moving on with my life. I always make enough that it lasts me for 4-5 days. I like to make sure I am efficient in my time. One of my favorite meals is roasted chicken with potatoes and carrots. It’s one of my absolute go to’s when I want something simple, yet tasty.
