Ingredients

For the Chicken

4 chicken breasts (6oz each)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

For the Vegetables

2 large carrots, chopped
2 parsnips, peeled and diced
1 large sweet potato, cubed
1 red onion, wedged
2 tbsp olive oil

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 30–35 minutes until tender.
2. Whisk olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the roasted vegetables.

Stewart’s Secret

To keep your chicken moist, don't rush the resting phase. Letting the meat sit for five minutes allows the internal juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is succulent.
