Rosemary Chicken with Zucchini

This recipe is from RealSimple.com. It sounded intriguing when I first saw it. But I was unsure about putting a block of frozen ingredients in the oven. Well I tried it and it worked! But it took longer than the time in the recipe. I let it stay in for an extra 20 minutes... Just to be safe...

Ingredients -
1 pound new potatoes
2 carrots
2 small zucchini
olive oil
whole-grain mustard
1 bunch rosemary
kosher salt and pepper
4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 1-quart resealable plastic freezer bags

Method -
Freeze it:  Quarter the potatoes. Peel the carrots. Cut the carrots and zucchini into 2-inch sticks. Mix them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons mustard, 1 tablespoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Divide everything among 4 bags. Freeze, until ready to cook, for up to 3 months.
Cook it: Heat oven to 400° F. Remove the bags from the freezer (you'll need 1 bag for each serving). Empty the contents of the bags into a baking dish. Roast for 25 minutes. Toss the vegetables, turn the chicken, and continue roasting until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes more. Divide among individual plates.
