5 oz chicken breast

2 cups carrots

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp olive oil

1 tbsp hemp hearts

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  Peel and slice the carrots into half-inch rounds, then toss them on the baking sheet with half of the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Roast the carrots for 20 minutes, or until they begin to soften and show light browning.

• 4

  While the carrots roast, season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with garlic powder and dried thyme.

• 5

  Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 6

  Remove the carrots from the oven, drizzle with the maple syrup, and toss to coat thoroughly.

• 7

  Return the carrots to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.

• 8

  Slice the chicken into strips and serve alongside the carrots, finishing the dish with a sprinkle of hemp hearts for added texture.
