This is one of my all-time favorite easy recipes: baked chicken potatoes carrots and herbs from the farmers market. It’s a dish I make all year round, and makes for a really great ‘make ahead’ dinner that can be made on a Sunday and then served for lunches/dinners throughout the weekend (yay for healthy meal prep recipes!)

Since making it, and posting it way back in 2013 (wow, how time flies) I’ve made this dish countless times, and have gotten so many amazing emails from readers who’ve made this, it was high time for a few newer pictures.

In the summertime months, there are so many great Farmer’s Market where we live in Milwaukee. So what I love to do is pack up the family and take a trip every week to our local Farmer’s Market.

One of our very favorite Farmer’s Markets in the Milwaukee area is the West Allis Farmers Market. I frequently post pictures of it on my instagram (like here) because I love it so much.

With all the fresh vegetables I get, I love to just roast them in the oven for dinner, I have made this over and over and over because it is so simple and full of flavor (the carrots I get are both yellow and orange!)

What are some other great chicken dinners with vegetables?

Roasted vegetables with chicken sausage
Roasted whole chicken and carrots with lemon and thyme<–a huge favorite dish of mine, and
Roasted potato and kohlrabisalad<–makes a great side dish as part of this farm to table dinner with rotisserie chicken and ginger glazed carrots!

I use a Pyrex baking dish like this because after I’m done baking it and want to store leftovers in the fridge, I just put the lid on it. These baking dishes with lids are truly my favorite ones and I use them ALL the time.

This baked chicken, potatoes, carrots and fresh herb recipe is totally customizable to what you have on hand. Instead of fresh herbs you could use Italian seasoning (I would use 1 and a 1/2 teaspoons instead of 2 tablespoons fresh herbs).

Equipment

Ingredients

2 lbs potatoes I use Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters, about 5 potatoes
2 lbs large carrots peeled and cut into chunks, about 6 large carrots
1 yellow onion medium-large, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 lbs chicken breasts 4 large breasts
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh herbs such as thyme, oregano, parsley and rosemary- herbs should be destemmed and finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt and onion salt/granules or powder
pepper freshly cracked, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400.
Peel and cut the vegetables and herbs. In a large baking dish scatter the onions, potatoes and carrots, sprinkle with half the salt, pepper and half of the fresh herbs and half the olive oil.
Next add the chicken breast on top of the vegetables and slightly nestle them in to the vegetables. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the chicken, then sprinkle remaining fresh herbs and salt/pepper and garlic and onion salt.
Bake for 55 minutes then check for doneness, the potatoes should be soft when poked with a fork, remove from oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes, then enjoy!

Notes

This recipe is made with large chicken breasts. If the chicken you're using is on the smaller or thinner side, I would recommend adding it halfway through cooking as to not dry out the chicken. You could also add in a can of crushed tomatoes or cream of chicken soup if you like a saucier dish, I happen to love the roasted quality of this dish without any sauce.[br]I use this 4.8 quart pyrex baking dish
