Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken breasts dry, then season both sides with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Rub evenly over chicken breasts.
  3. Step 3: Place chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-22 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), then set aside.
  4. Step 4: While chicken cooks, toss 1 cup chopped asparagus and 1/2 cup baby carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Roast for 15 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: In the same skillet, combine 1/4 cup white wine, 1/4 cup chicken broth, and 1 tsp Dijon mustard. Simmer for 5 minutes until reduced by half and slightly thickened.
  6. Step 6: Slice chicken, arrange with roasted vegetables, and drizzle with the warm glaze before serving.

Can I substitute ingredients in Sunbeam Lemon-Herb Chicken with Light Glaze?

How do I scale Sunbeam Lemon-Herb Chicken with Light Glaze for a different number of people?
