Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss 3 medium peeled carrots, 1 medium zucchini sliced into 1/2-inch rounds, and 1 red bell pepper cut into 1-inch chunks with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme. Spread the vegetables 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 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 2 minced garlic cloves until combined. Reduce heat to low and pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the chicken.
4. Step 4: Serve the honey-glazed chicken breasts alongside the roasted vegetables, spooning any extra sauce from the pan over the top.
