Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken and carrots.
Prepare Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful herb rub.
Season Chicken: Rub the herb mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts to ensure full flavor coverage.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet. In a separate bowl, toss the carrot sticks with honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Add Carrots: Spread the coated carrots around the chicken breasts on the baking sheet, spacing them out evenly for proper roasting.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken registers an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the carrots become tender and caramelized.
Rest Chicken: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
Serve: Slice the chicken breasts and serve alongside the roasted carrots. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired for a fresh, herbal finish.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the herb mixture for 1–2 hours before cooking.
You can substitute the carrots with parsnips or sweet potatoes for variety.
Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
Use fresh herbs if available for enhanced aroma.
