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
- Roasted potato and kohlrabi saladthis 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).
