Sometimes you just can’t with life..which is perfectly okay! We all have those days. However, it is nights like that when you need a nutritious and comforting meal the most. That’s when you make the meal that takes nearly zero prep work and can cook on its own, but makes you look like a gourmet chef.

Further Food Commentary:

This Roasted Chicken with Braised Root Vegetables dish combines the comfort of a home-cooked meal with the simplicity of farm fresh ingredients. By placing the root vegetables on the bottom of the pan that the chicken will be roasted in, along with some chicken broth and fresh herbs, the vegetables develop a mellow, earthy flavor that complements the heartier chicken wonderfully. If you’re entertaining, this is a great option to consider as it requires very little prep time, leaving you with plenty of opportunity to entertain guests as the chicken is in the oven.
