Cooking steps
1
  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

2
  • In a medium bowl, combine panko, mozzarella, 1 tsp Italian Seasoning (2 tsp for 4 servings; be sure to measure—we sent more), 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4), salt, and pepper.

  • Toss carrots on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes to taste. (For 4, spread carrots out across entire baking sheet.)

  • Salt

    1 teaspoon (tsp)

4
  • Once carrots have roasted 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven and carefully place chicken on empty side. (For 4 servings, leave carrots roasting; add chicken to a second baking sheet and roast on middle rack.)

  • Roast on top rack until chicken is golden brown and cooked through and carrots are browned and tender, 15-20 minutes. TIP: If carrots are done before chicken, remove from sheet and continue roasting chicken.

  • Carrot

    12 ounce

  • While carrots and chicken roast, melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add couscous and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until toasted, 2-3 minutes.

  • Add ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4) and stock concentrate. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes.

  • Turn off heat. Drain any excess liquid if necessary.
