INGREDIENTS

6 oz chicken breast

1.5 cup carrots

1 tbsp maple syrup

0.5 tbsp olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried thyme

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Peel the carrots and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds on the diagonal to increase surface area for caramelization.

• 3

  Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized 1-inch cubes to ensure they cook at the same rate as the carrots.

• 4

  In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.

• 5

  Add the chicken and carrots to the bowl and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated in the glaze.

• 6

  Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring pieces are not overcrowded so they roast rather than steam.

• 7

  Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the carrots are tender with golden-brown edges.

• 8

  Remove from the oven and let rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
