Directions
1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, thyme and balsamic vinegar; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
2. In shallow baking dish or large bowl, combine the marinade and chicken; marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight in the refrigerator, turning occasionally. Drain the chicken, collect the marinade.
3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Place chicken on the baking sheet and arrange carrots around in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Place into the oven and roast until the chicken is completely cooked through, about 20 – 25 minutes. Add broccoli and drizzle with remaining marinade about 10 minutes before end of cooking time. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy! ❤️

Tips for the baked chicken recipe
You can use a Ziploc bag to marinate the chicken. This way you’ll be able to “massage” the marinade into the chicken meat for better flavor.
