Notes
where to buy the oven roasting bag: you can find the oven bag in any grocery stores in the kitchen wrapping paper section or in the baking section, they have small, medium, large or jumbo sizes. I usually like to buy the jumbo or large size that I can adjust depending on how many servings I am cooking.
Mix and match the ingredients: you can use any veggies you have on hand. Same for the seasonings and dressing you can use whatever you like or have in hand. this blend of veggies and seasoning I used here is my to-go in my household that turns out very delicious every time.
perfect for meal prep: you can roast a big batch and store it in the fridge for days up to 5 days.
for the chicken pieces: you can use boneless chicken breasts cut into cubes or not (but you will have to reduce the time of cooking to 45 up to 55 minutes depending on the size of the pieces) and you can also use a whole chicken without cutting into smaller parts but it will take more time also to roast (1 hour and 20 minutes and you will need to let it rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving)
