INGREDIENTS

6 oz chicken breast

1 cup carrots

1 tbsp maple syrup

0.5 oz pecans

1 tsp olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried thyme

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 rounds, and cut the chicken breast into uniform bite-sized cubes.

• 3

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

• 4

  Place the chicken and carrots on the prepared baking sheet and pour the maple mixture over them, tossing with your hands to ensure every piece is evenly coated.

• 5

  Spread the ingredients out into a single layer to ensure they roast rather than steam.

• 6

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

• 7

  During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the pecans onto the tray to let them toast until fragrant and golden.

• 8

  Remove from the oven and serve immediately, drizzling any extra glaze from the pan over the chicken and carrots.
