INGREDIENTS

5 oz Chicken breast

1 cup Carrots

1 tbsp Maple syrup

1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.5 tsp Dried thyme

1 tsp Apple cider vinegar

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 one-inch diagonal pieces to ensure even roasting.

• 3

  In a medium bowl, toss the carrots with half of the olive oil, the maple syrup, and a pinch of the salt and pepper.

• 4

  Spread the carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until they are tender and caramelized.

• 5

  While the carrots roast, season the chicken breast on both sides with the remaining salt, pepper, and the dried thyme.

• 6

  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 the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 7

  Remove the chicken from the pan and deglaze the skillet with the apple cider vinegar, scraping up the flavorful bits to drizzle over the meat.

• 8

  Plate the seared chicken alongside the warm maple-glazed carrots and serve immediately while the glaze is glossy.
