1 Prepare & roast the vegetables

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots; halve crosswise, then quarter lengthwise. Peel the onion; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds, keeping the layers intact. Place the sliced carrots and onion rounds on a sheet pan, keeping them separate. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 21 to 23 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. Place on a separate sheet pan; drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast 18 to 20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.* Transfer to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F for chicken.
