Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 3 medium peeled carrots cut into 1/2-inch sticks and 12 oz trimmed green beans with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried thyme. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
2. Step 2: While vegetables roast, pat dry 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Step 3: Place chicken breasts in the hot skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove chicken and set aside.
4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium, add 4 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in 3 tbsp honey and cook for 1-2 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5. Step 5: Return chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the honey-garlic glaze over them, and cook for 1 minute more to meld flavors. Serve chicken with the roasted carrots and green beans on the side.
