A fast sheet-pan dinner that leans into early-March New England produce: sweet roasted carrots and potatoes, juicy chicken, and a bright lemon-rosemary finish that makes it feel far fancier than the effort involved.

Instructions
- Prep the oven to 425Β°F. Line a sheet pan for easy cleanup. Halve 8 ounces Organic Peeled Baby Rainbow Carrots ($2.49 package, use about two-thirds) lengthwise if thick. Scrub and cut 1 large Organic Russet Potato ($1.89) into 3/4-inch cubes. Finely chop 1 to 2 teaspoons Organic Rosemary ($2.99) and mince 2 cloves Organic Garlic from the Organic Garlic, 3 CT ($2.89). Zest half of 1 Lemon ($0.99) and cut the lemon into wedges.
- Pat dry 1 package Bell & Evans Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, 8 OZ ($4.99). Toss the cubed potato and carrots with 1 tablespoon oil, half the chopped rosemary, half the minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread on the sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.
- Rub the chicken breast with 1 teaspoon oil, the remaining rosemary, the remaining garlic, the lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. After the vegetables have roasted 10 minutes, push them to the sides and add the chicken to the center of the pan.
- Roast the chicken, carrots, and potato for 15 to 18 minutes more, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are browned and tender. Squeeze 1 to 2 lemon wedges over the pan right after it comes out.
- If using the optional side salad, toss 2 cups Organic Baby Arugula Salad ($3.39 package) with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of oil, and a pinch of salt while the chicken rests for 5 minutes.
- Slice the chicken breast and serve with the roasted carrots and potato, plus the simple arugula salad if using. Drink pairing: Sauvignon Blanc is ideal; Pinot Noir also works if you want red.

Health notes: Approx. 520-620 calories per serving. High in protein, rich in vitamin A from carrots, and satisfying without being heavy. Leave potato skins on for extra fiber.
Drink pairing: A crisp Sauvignon Blanc is the best match for the lemon and rosemary. If you prefer red, go with a light Pinot Noir with fresh acidity and little oak.
