Roasted lemon-parsley chicken & carrots
Boneless chicken breasts roast beside carrot batons, finished with lemon juice and fresh parsley.
Ingredients
Volumes are approximate. For baking, use a scale; Metric keeps the specified gram weights.
Let’s make it
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the carrots with 0.494 oz oil and half the salt on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread in one layer and roast for 15 minutes. Use a second tray if they would be crowded.
- On a separate board, flatten very thick ends of the chicken to an even 3/4 inch (2 cm). Coat with the remaining oil and salt, paprika, pepper and garlic. Wash hands and utensils after touching raw chicken; do not wash the chicken itself.
- Turn the carrots and make space for the chicken, keeping everything in a single layer. Roast for another 18–25 minutes. Check each breast with a thermometer inserted into the thickest center; all must reach 165°F (74°C). Remove safely cooked chicken if the carrots need more time. Carrots should yield easily to a knife.
- Rest the chicken for 5 minutes. Toss the carrots with lemon juice and parsley, then serve with the chicken, dividing all pan juices and vegetables into four equal portions. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours, use within 3–4 days and reheat to 165°F (74°C).

Calculation notes & sources
ESTIMATED per serving. Brand, crop, preparation, draining, pan residue and substitutions change actual nutrition. Not laboratory analysis. Raw or dry food profiles match pre-cooking edible masses. All listed oil and retained cooking liquid are counted. Cooking moisture changes do not change the stated portion count. No generic nutrient-retention factor is invented. Calories are kcal; protein, total carbohydrate, fat and total sugar are grams. Total carbohydrate includes fiber and is not net carbohydrate. Fiber and sodium are not displayed. Equal portions define yield; counted breads, tomatoes and pancakes are explicitly divided. US/Metric display changes do not change these canonical inputs. Primary-source supplements are retained per ingredient where USDA lacks a field; missing values are never silently changed to zero.
