Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 large peeled and diced beet (1/2-inch cubes) and 2 medium peeled, sliced carrots (1/4-inch rounds) with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Roast for 20 minutes, then flip vegetables. Return to oven for 15-18 minutes until tender and caramelized at edges.
  3. Step 3: While vegetables roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 oz sliced chicken breast (1/2-inch strips), 1 minced garlic clove, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Cook for 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Divide roasted vegetables between two bowls. Top with cooked chicken strips and serve immediately for a balanced meal that supports sustained energy levels.
