INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 medium Carrots
1 medium Parsnip
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 wedge Lemon
3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon wedge (squeezed for juice), chopped thyme, and rosemary leaves. Drizzle half of the mixture over the chicken, set aside the remaining for the vegetables.
Peel the carrots and parsnip if desired and cut them into evenly sized sticks or chunks.
Place the vegetables on a baking sheet, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and herb mixture, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the chicken breast on the same or a separate baking sheet. Roast the chicken and vegetables in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and it develops a crispy, golden exterior, and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
Remove from the oven, let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes, then slice if desired. Serve the crisp chicken alongside the roasted root vegetables and garnish with additional fresh herbs if preferred.
