Also known as “clean out the fridge dinners” around here. Onions, potatoes and tomatoes are usually on hand, so you are halfway there. If you have a bell pepper sitting in the fridge, or a few carrots that are starting to look like they’ve seen better days, don’t waste them.

All of those miscellaneous bits of veggies can be chopped up and used for this simple pan roasted chicken and vegetables.
