Sticky Date-Glazed Chicken with Roasted Root Vegetables
Enjoy a savory fusion of tender chicken breast glazed with a sweet, sticky date reduction paired with beautifully roasted root vegetables. The medjool date glaze provides a natural sweetness that complements the savory spices, while the mix of carrots and parsnips offers a comforting, earthy balance with every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 Medjool Dates
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Parsnip
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Finely chop the medjool dates and place them in a small saucepan with a splash of water. Simmer gently over low heat, stirring occasionally until the dates break down into a thick, sticky glaze, about 5-7 minutes.
While the glaze simmers, season the chicken breast with your choice of salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika.
In a frying pan, lightly sear the chicken over medium-high heat for 2 minutes on each side to lock in the juices.
Toss the chopped carrot and parsnip with olive oil, salt, and pepper on the prepared baking tray.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Once the chicken is partially cooked, brush the sticky date glaze generously over the chicken. Continue cooking the chicken in the pan or finish it in a preheated oven (around 375°F) for an additional 8-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the glaze is bubbly.
Plate the glazed chicken alongside a generous serving of roasted root vegetables and drizzle any remaining glaze over the top.
