INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
1 medium Carrot (61g)
1 small Parsnip (100g)
1/4 medium Red Onion (~30g)
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (5g)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (15g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, crushed garlic, and a couple of thyme sprigs to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and drizzle with half of the olive oil. Rub the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated on all sides. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Prepare the vegetables by chopping the carrot and parsnip into similar sized chunks and quartering the red onion. Toss them in the remaining olive oil and a little extra thyme.
Arrange the vegetables around the chicken in the baking dish, making sure they are in a single layer for optimal crispiness.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven, garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired, and serve warm.
