Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 10 oz. Carrot
  • 1 Red Fresno Chile
  • 2 oz. Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 oz. Dijon Mustard
  • 11/2 fl. oz. Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 6 oz. Slaw Mix
  • 1 oz. Honey

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Prepare a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray.

  2. Peel carrot, trim, and cut into sticks 3" long and ½" thick. Thinly slice Fresno chile on an angle. Combine ¾ the mayonnaise (remaining is used in slaw), Dijon, half the apple cider vinegar (remaining is used in slaw), and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Refrigerate until ready to plate. Rinse chicken, pat dry, and season both sides with ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

  3. Combine slaw mix, Fresno slices (to taste), remaining mayonnaise, remaining apple cider vinegar, half the honey (remaining glazes carrots), and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Combine and refrigerate until ready to plate.

  4. Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place chicken in hot pan and cook undisturbed until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Transfer chicken to prepared baking sheet, seared side up. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  5. Place baking sheet in oven. Bake until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees and chicken is golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest at least 5 minutes. While chicken is baking, cook carrots.

  6. Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in same pan used to sear chicken over medium heat. Cook carrots, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-7 minutes. Add remaining honey and 1 Tbsp. water to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until honey begins to bubble and glazes carrots, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove pan from burner and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  7. Place a serving of slaw and carrots on a plate. Add a pool of white BBQ sauce to plate and place chicken in sauce.
