INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1.5 cups carrots

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp olive oil

0.5 cup cooked quinoa

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

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-inch thick diagonal rounds to ensure even roasting.

• 3

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, and dried thyme until well combined.

• 4

  Place the chicken breast and the sliced carrots on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

• 5

  Brush the maple mixture generously over both the chicken and the carrots, turning them to ensure they are fully coated.

• 6

  Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the carrots are tender with caramelized edges.

• 7

  Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

• 8

  Serve the glazed chicken and carrots over a bed of warm, cooked quinoa, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
