Whole Roasted Chicken and Carrots {One Pot Meal}

I love a whole roasted chicken meal. It’s absolutely my go-to schtick. So many simple and flavorful combinations and you can usually do the whole meal in one pot. Who doesn’t appreciate a one pot dinner? And I always roast two chickens so there are leftovers for Chicken Enchiladas or Hot Chicken Salad! Tonight we had Whole Roasted Chicken and Carrots. Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmm.
