INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1.5 cups carrots

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 cup cooked quinoa

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Peel the carrots and slice them into 1/2-inch diagonal rounds, and cut the chicken breast into even 1-inch cubes.

• 3

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

• 4

  Place the carrots and chicken pieces in a large bowl, pour the maple glaze over them, and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated.

• 5

  Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring enough space between pieces for proper roasting.

• 6

  Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the carrots have developed a golden, caramelized exterior.

• 7

  While the chicken and carrots roast, warm your pre-cooked quinoa in a small pan or microwave.

• 8

  Plate the roasted chicken and carrots over the bed of fluffy quinoa and garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.
