Roasted Chicken and Vegetables

This Roasted Chicken and Vegetables recipe cooked up so beautifully! It was hard to believe the chicken was cooked thoroughly, but still moist, and the vegetables were just the right texture, with just the right amount of char. All this in just 15 minutes. Two baking sheets covered in colorful deliciousness and nutritiousness 🙂 

We cooked some white Jasmine rice right before popping the chicken and veggies in the oven so it was still warm when the chicken and vegetables were ready to eat.
