Pan Roast Chicken with Carrots and Almonds

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 6 carrots sliced at an angle
  • ¼ cup Marcona almonds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • grey sea salt and cracked black pepper
  • 2 skin-on bone-in chicken breasts
  • ½ shallot finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
  • ¼ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt I like Cabot
  • 1 lemon juiced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375*F. Toss carrots, almonds, honey, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small baking dish. Season with salt and pepper; roast 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin-side-down on the hot skillet; cook 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Turn the chicken over and transfer the pan to the oven (just stick it right next to those carrots). Roast 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet. Add the carrots, shallot, parsley, and rosemary. Stir gently, coating the carrots with the pan juices and allowing the heat from the pan to soften the shallot.
  • In a small dish, mix together the yogurt and lemon juice. Season with salt. Serve the chicken and carrots with the yogurt sauce.
