Instructions

Step 1: Preheat grill to high heat. In a bowl, mix chicken breasts with rosemary, thyme, garlic, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Step 2: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine apricot jam, brown sugar, soy sauce, and 2 tbsp water. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until the glaze thickens and becomes syrupy.
Step 3: Toss carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Grill alongside chicken for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and caramelized. Brush with the apricot glaze during the last 2-3 minutes of grilling.
Step 4: Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until fully cooked and golden-brown. Serve with glazed carrots and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
