Rosemary Chicken and Honey Balsamic Carrots

This meal prep recipe is hearty and filling without a lot of heavy carbs. It is a meal that will make you feel warmth like the ingredients of fall cooking do but won’t leave you feeling like your stomach is weighed down afterwards.

I enjoy the fresh flavors of the bright lemons juice and rosemary. They are an iconic combination. If you haven’t tried it you are missing out.

The ingredients for the marinade are pictured below and it is easy to throw together quickly.

After you gather your marinade ingredients, whisk them together in a dish and pour over the chicken and carrots.

The marinade helps keep the chicken juicy. The longer it sits on the chicken, the more predominant the flavors will be.
