INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1 cup carrots

1 tbsp maple syrup

0.5 tbsp olive oil

0.5 oz pecans

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried thyme

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 thick rounds, and cut the chicken breast into uniform 1-inch cubes.

• 3

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

• 4

  Add the chicken cubes and sliced carrots to the bowl, tossing thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated in the maple mixture.

• 5

  Spread the chicken and carrots onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

• 6

  Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing the ingredients halfway through to ensure even browning.

• 7

  During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the pecans over the tray to toast them until fragrant.

• 8

  Remove from the oven once the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are tender and caramelized.

• 9

  Serve immediately, drizzling any extra glaze from the baking sheet over the top.
