Ahhh, spring time is finally here! Not that it necessarily feels like it here in Ohio but, at least its getting closer to warmer weather. I stumbled upon this recipe and within the title read the words “fresh from the farmers market”. Suddenly all of my happy feels starting rolling in, reminding me of the warm summer mornings filled with coffee, strolls with the pooch, and hitting up our local farmers market bright and early before the summer heat (and crowd) set in. I feel warm and fuzzy just thinking about it. Now lets get into this recipe. The original recipe is linked here. My take is very similar, however I really enjoy using a darker meat (rather then breast) when baking. Why? Because those lovely delicious juices run all over the pan, and trust me, that is exactly what you want. However, you do want to make sure that you trim them of there fat first before cooking. It won't compromise the flavor but will definitely save you some excess calories! No complaints from the husband with this meal prep. After all, its basically meat and potatoes, whats to hate? Although, the original did call for onions as well, which if I had it my way, I would have definitely added. But, Demetrius hates onions so I added some dried onion instead. He never even noticed. Also noted below is the fact that my chicken (they were small pieces) was done before my carrots were. So, easy fix. Take the chicken out to rest and continue cooking the vegetables until tender. My potatoes crisped up a bit and my carrots turned out wonderful. Roasted Chicken Bake - With Carrots and Potatoes
Ingredients Servings: 4

**NOTE - My chicken was done around 45 minutes so I removed all 4 pieces from the pans and continued to cook the vegetables until the carrots where tender (about 10 more minutes).
