ROASTED GARLIC CHICKEN AND BABY VEGETABLES

Recipe

Roasted Garlic Chicken and Baby Vegetables

You can use other seasonal mini vegetables-the smaller, the better. Gourmet restaurants serve 'em but anyone can. I find myself forgetting about the chicken and just eating these deliciously cute veggies by the spoonful!
