INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
½ cup diced Carrots
½ cup diced Parsnips
2 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Lemon Zest
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, fresh thyme, rosemary, minced garlic, and lemon zest.
Lightly brush the chicken breast with 1 tsp of olive oil and then press the herb breadcrumb mixture onto the top of the chicken to form a crust.
Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a separate bowl, toss the diced carrots and parsnips with the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Spread the vegetables around the chicken on the baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving alongside the roasted root vegetables.
