This recipe is one of my very favorites and here’s why. It’s easy to prepare, its juicy, the potatoes and carrots all cook together in the same pan and the herbs and spices turn this dish into a true comfort meal. Best of all, the juicy leftover chicken can be used to make a dynamite chicken salad!
