maple-glazed chicken / roasted parsnips & carrots / greens & cider vinaigrette

Contents of your meal kit:

chicken
parsnip & carrot mix
thyme
maple glaze base
cider vinaigrette base
baby greens
golden raisins

Equipment needed: baking sheet, small bowl, nonstick skillet, salad bowl

Finishing steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 450. On a baking sheet, toss parsnips & carrots with olive oil, whole thyme springs, salt & pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, then toss and roast another 5-10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, season both sides of chicken with salt & pepper. In a small bowl, combine maple glaze base with an equal amount of water (you could use chicken/veggie broth, or even beer if you happen to have some on hand).
  3. When about 5 minutes remain on the timer for parsnips & carrots, get ready to cook your pork. Heat a small amount of oil in a nonstick skillet over med-high heat. When skillet is hot, cook chicken 5 minutes per side or until cooked through.
  4. After browning the chicken, reduce heat to low, and add maple glaze to skillet. Allow glaze to simmer and reduce for a minute or so, turning chicken to coat with glaze.
  5. Pour vinaigrette base into the bottom of your salad bowl and add an equal amount olive oil. Whisk or mix with a fork to combine. If this looks like too much dressing, remove some before adding the greens and the golden raisins. Toss gently and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve the chicken alongside the roasted veggies and salad. Enjoy!!
