- 1/4 cup pure honey
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions

- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil to create the glaze.
- Toss sliced carrots in olive oil and salt before arranging them around the seasoned chicken in the baking dish.
