Ingredients for Pan-Roasted Chicken with Carrots and Almonds

  • 450g small carrots (about 12), peeled

  • 120ml coarsely chopped almonds

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

  • 4 skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts (3-1.8kg total)

  • 240ml plain Greek yoghurt

  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

  • 1/2 small shallot, finely chopped

How to make Pan-Roasted Chicken with Carrots and Almonds

Preheat oven to 191°C. Toss carrots, almonds, honey, and 2 tablespoons oil on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until carrots are tender, 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken, skin side down, until golden brown, 5-8 minutes. Turn chicken over, transfer skillet to oven, and roast until cooked through, 10-15 minutes longer.

While chicken and carrots are roasting, mix yoghurt and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Remove chicken and carrots from oven; transfer chicken to a large plate. Add carrots, shallot, and tarragon to skillet and toss to coat in pan drippings. Serve with lemon yoghurt.
