Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 oz each) chicken breast
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 medium, cut into 1/2-inch sticks carrot
• 1 medium, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds zucchini
• 1 medium, cut into 1-inch pieces red bell pepper
• 1 tsp, divided salt
• 1/2 tsp, divided black pepper
• 1 tsp, chopped fresh thyme

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 2 medium carrots cut into 1/2-inch sticks, 1 medium zucchini sliced into 1/2-inch rounds, and 1 medium red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
2. Step 2: While vegetables roast, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 2 chicken breasts (6 oz each) with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add chicken to skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 2 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp soy sauce, stirring to combine. Let sauce simmer for 2 minutes until thickened and glossy.
4. Step 4: Return chicken to skillet and spoon the honey garlic sauce over each piece, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to coat and heat through. Serve chicken alongside the roasted vegetables.
