INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz chicken breast

1.5 cup carrots

1 tbsp maple syrup

0.5 tbsp olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp fresh thyme

0.5 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Peel and slice the carrots into 2-inch batons, then toss them on the baking sheet with half of the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Roast the carrots for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are tender and starting to brown at the edges.

• 4

  While the carrots roast, season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with garlic powder and the remaining salt and pepper.

• 5

  Heat the remaining olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

• 6

  Remove the carrots from the oven, drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with fresh thyme, then return to the oven for 3 minutes until the glaze is bubbly.

• 7

  Plate the seared chicken alongside the glistening maple carrots and serve immediately.
