INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1.5 cup carrots

1 tbsp maple syrup

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 oz pecans

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp fresh thyme

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 rounds on a diagonal; cut the chicken breast into uniform 1-inch cubes.

• 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 carrots and chicken cubes to the bowl and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated in the maple glaze.

• 5

  Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the pieces are spaced out to allow for proper roasting.

• 6

  Place in the oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing the ingredients halfway through the cooking time.

• 7

  During the final 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the pecans onto the baking sheet to allow them to become fragrant and toasted.

• 8

  Remove from the oven once the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are fork-tender, then garnish with fresh thyme before serving.
