INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 small Parsnip
1/8 cup Slivered Almonds
1 tsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
On a large sheet pan, arrange the chicken breast along with peeled and chopped carrot and parsnip pieces.
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and toss gently to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper (optional) to create a light dusting mix.
Sprinkle the cocoa mixture over the chicken breast, pressing lightly to adhere.
Roast the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
In the last 5 minutes of the roasting time, sprinkle the slivered almonds over the sheet pan to allow them to toast lightly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest briefly before serving.
