Method
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful herb mixture.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and coat them evenly with the garlic herb mixture.
Surround the chicken with the baby carrots in the baking dish.
Cooking
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the carrots are tender.
Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh parsley for a vibrant touch.
Ingredient substitutions include using skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier option or swapping baby carrots for other vegetables. For variations, add lemon juice or Parmesan cheese before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat until warmed through.
