Oven-Roasted Chicken with Rainbow Carrots

This is a nice weeknight dinner where the leftovers can easily be packed for lunch the next day. Protein-packed organic free-range chicken is both delicious and healthy for you since it avoids the possibility of accidentally ingesting synthetic hormones and antibiotics. Rainbow carrots have a natural sweetness that comes out in the roasting process. Root vegetables can accumulate toxins from the soil, so be sure you purchase certified organic rainbow carrots. 

If you make a lot, you can actually portion them out for meal preps to grab and go. This is a great option for days where you go to the gym since the protein from the chicken helps repair muscles, and the fiber and nutrients from the vegetables keep your gut healthy and happy.
