INGREDIENTS

5 oz Chicken breast

1 cup Carrots

2 tsp Maple syrup

2 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.25 cup Cooked quinoa

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves

1 tsp Dijon mustard

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and the Dijon mustard until smooth.

• 3

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

• 4

  Drizzle the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the chicken and carrots, then season everything evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.

• 5

  Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, then carefully remove the tray and brush the maple-mustard glaze over both the chicken and the carrots.

• 6

  Return the tray to the oven and roast for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the carrots are beautifully caramelized.

• 7

  Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing, then serve alongside the glazed carrots over a bed of warm cooked quinoa.
