Don't get worried about putting this meal together: time is on your side. Get it? Get it? We'll put away the corny jokes this time, because this meal speaks for itself. Especially this thick, delicious gravy, perfect for the chicken or potatoes (or both!). The gravy comes together in no time whatsoever, despite being loaded with herbaceous thyme. Get it? Ok, we're done now. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)
