This dish balances a delightful combination of caramelized natural sweetness from dates and the subtle earthiness of roasted carrots, making it a comforting yet elevated meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
2 medium Carrots
2 Medjool Dates
1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Ginger
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the carrots.
Start by peeling and cutting the carrots into uniform sticks for even roasting. Toss them in 1 tsp olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Place the carrots on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the carrots roast, prepare the sticky date glaze by blending the 2 medjool dates, 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 clove garlic, and 1/2 tsp grated ginger in a small food processor or blender until smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the 6 oz chicken breast (if needed, gently flatten it for even cooking) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a light golden crust forms.
Pour the prepared date glaze over the chicken, reducing the heat to medium-low. Continue to cook the chicken for an additional 5-7 minutes, spooning the glaze over the top occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the glaze has thickened into a sticky coating.
Once the carrots are done, serve the sticky date glazed chicken alongside the roasted carrots. Enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
