Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Vegetables

  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks

Herbs & Aromatics

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp mixed fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley), chopped

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Peel and cut the carrots into uniform sticks for even roasting. Mince the garlic finely and chop the fresh herbs to infuse maximum flavor into the chicken.
  2. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly in this mixture and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Roast the carrots: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the carrot sticks with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet or oven-safe pan to ensure even roasting.
  4. Cook the chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on the same pan as the carrots or on a separate pan if preferred. Roast both for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the carrots are tender and caramelized.
  5. Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Arrange sliced chicken alongside the roasted carrots. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and drizzle with extra lemon juice for a bright finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for the most vibrant flavor.
  • Cut carrots uniformly to ensure even roasting.
  • Allow the chicken to rest after cooking to keep it juicy.
  • Maintain oven temperature at 400°F for perfect cooking and caramelization.
  • Marinate chicken up to 2 hours ahead for deeper flavor.
