Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and chop the 2 beets and 3 carrots into 1-inch chunks. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Roast the vegetables for 10 minutes, until they start to soften and brown at the edges.

  3. Step 3

    While vegetables roast, rub the 2 chicken breasts with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves.

  4. Step 4

    Push vegetables to the sides of the sheet pan, place chicken in the center, and roast for 15-18 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F and vegetables are fork-tender.

  5. Step 5

    Let rest for 2 minutes, then slice chicken and serve with the roasted beets and carrots.
