This easy weeknight roasted chicken breasts dish features the sweet flavors of roasted carrots, onions, and prunes. Peel carrots with a vegetable peeler; trim ends. Use a sharp knife to halve carrots lengthwise. Cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch chunks.

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in chicken breast halves (10 to 12 ounces each)

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled, halved, and cut on the diagonal into ½-inch chunks

  • 6 garlic cloves, quartered

  • 1 medium red onion, halved, cut into ½-inch wedges coarse salt and ground pepper

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • ¾ cup pitted prunes, quartered lengthwise

  • Best Couscous, for serving, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange carrots, garlic, and onion around chicken; season chicken and vegetables generously with salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes.
