INGREDIENTS

6 oz chicken breast

1 cup carrots

0.5 oz pecans

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp fresh rosemary

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Peel the carrots and slice them into 1-inch diagonal pieces, and cut the chicken breast into even 1-inch cubes.

• 3

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Place the chicken and carrots on the prepared baking sheet and pour the maple glaze over them, tossing well to ensure every piece is coated.

• 5

  Spread the ingredients into a single layer, making sure they are not crowded so they roast rather than steam.

• 6

  Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then temporarily remove the tray and scatter the pecans over the top.

• 7

  Return the tray to the oven for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the pecans are fragrant and toasted.

• 8

  Garnish the dish with finely chopped fresh rosemary and serve immediately while warm.
