INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Parsnip
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the chicken breast on a small plate and drizzle with half of the olive oil, fresh thyme, and the juice from half a lemon. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Allow it to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Peel the carrot and parsnip, then cut them into evenly sized sticks or chunks. Place them in a mixing bowl.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and additional thyme if desired.
Arrange the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place the marinated chicken breast on the same sheet, ensuring it has space to crisp up.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Optionally, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve extra crispiness on the chicken skin.
Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes, then slice the chicken and serve it alongside the roasted vegetables.
