INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

2 cups carrots

1 tbsp maple syrup

0.5 oz pecans

0.5 tbsp olive oil

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 baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Peel the carrots and slice them into 1-inch diagonal pieces to ensure even roasting.

• 3

  In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and half of the sea salt and black pepper.

• 4

  Place the chicken breast on one side of the baking sheet and season both sides with the remaining salt, pepper, and dried thyme.

• 5

  Toss the sliced carrots with the maple glaze mixture on the other side of the baking sheet until every piece is well coated.

• 6

  Roast for 15 minutes, then briefly remove the pan from the oven and scatter the pecans over the carrots.

• 7

  Return the pan to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the carrots are fork-tender.

• 8

  Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving alongside the glazed carrots and toasted pecans.
