Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts, your preference)
• 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
• 1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your chicken and vegetables cook evenly.
2. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and chop your potatoes and carrots to your desired size.
3. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder.
4. Combine everything: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken thighs and vegetables in a single layer in a large roasting pan or baking sheet. Tuck the lemon slices between the chicken and vegetables.
5. Roast: Roast for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
6. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips and Variations:

• Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or bell peppers.
• Use fresh herbs: If you have fresh rosemary and thyme, use about 1 tablespoon of each, chopped.
• Add some spice: For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• Make it a sheet pan meal: If you don't have a roasting pan, a large baking sheet works just as well.
• Leftovers: This dish is great for leftovers! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This simple yet flavorful recipe captures the essence of Mr. Food's philosophy: delicious food made easy. Enjoy this tasty and convenient meal! Remember to adjust seasonings to your preference, and don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables and herbs to create your own unique variation. Happy cooking!
