INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1.5 cup carrots

1.5 tbsp honey

0.5 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Wash, peel, and slice the carrots into 1/2-inch thick rounds on a bias for more surface area to caramelize.

• 3

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.

• 4

  Place the chicken breast and sliced carrots onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

• 5

  Drizzle exactly half of the honey-balsamic glaze over the chicken and carrots, tossing the carrots with tongs to ensure they are fully coated.

• 6

  Roast in the center of the oven for 10 minutes.

• 7

  Remove the pan briefly to brush the remaining glaze over the chicken breast to build a thick, sweet crust.

• 8

  Return to the oven and roast for another 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the carrots are fork-tender and browned.

• 9

  Let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before slicing, then garnish the entire dish with chopped fresh parsley.
