INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz chicken breast

2 cups carrots

1 tbsp maple syrup

0.5 oz pecans

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp fresh parsley

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 diagonal rounds, then cut the chicken breast into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.

• 3

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

• 4

  Add the chicken pieces and sliced carrots to the bowl, tossing thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated in the maple glaze.

• 5

  Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to crowd the pieces so they roast rather than steam.

• 6

  Roast in the center of the oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are tender and caramelized.

• 7

  During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the tray to lightly toast them and enhance their nutty flavor.

• 8

  Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving warm.
