Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure you have your oven preheated to the correct temperature to achieve the perfect roast on your chicken and carrots. This step is crucial as it will impact the overall texture and flavor of your dish.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Take your chicken breasts and sprinkle both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. This will enhance the natural flavors of the chicken and prepare it for the oven.
- 3
Drizzle olive oil over the chicken.
Gently drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each chicken breast. This will help keep the chicken moist during cooking and add a touch of richness to the dish.

Roast the chicken in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
Place the seasoned and oiled chicken breasts in a baking dish and put them in the oven. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). This step requires patience and attention to ensure the chicken is cooked to perfection.

Meanwhile, prepare the lavender honey glaze.
In a small saucepan, combine the lavender honey, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Place the saucepan over low heat and whisk until the glaze is smooth and well combined. This glaze will add a sweet and tangy flavor to your carrots.

Peel and chop the carrots into your desired shape.
Take the large carrots and peel them. Then, chop them into sticks or slices, depending on your preference. This will help them cook evenly and present nicely on the plate.

Blud, this recipe is a **right ol' treat**! As a flexitarian, I'm always on the lookout for dishes that are easy to adapt, and this chicken and lavender honey glazed carrots recipe is a **winner**. The combo of sweet and savory flavors is **proper nice**, and I love how the lavender honey adds a bit of a twist to the usual carrot glaze. The fact that it's nut-free is a **big plus** for me, since I've got a nasty allergy. My only gripe is that it's not exactly a tapas-style dish, but I reckon I could easily make it work as a **tapas-inspired snack**. The instructions are **easy peasy** to follow, even for a non-native English speaker like myself. Overall, I'd give this recipe a solid 4 out of 5 stars - it's a **belter**!

### My Verdict on Chicken and Lavender Honey Glazed Carrots! ### I must say, I was intrigued by this recipe, but it's not exactly what I'm used to. As a pescatarian with a love for Brazilian and Latin American cuisine, I don't typically cook with chicken. However, I appreciate a good challenge and was excited to try something new! The combination of lavender honey and carrots is *muito interessante*! I can imagine it would be a great addition to a Latin American-inspired dish. The sweetness of the honey and the earthiness of the carrots... *mmm*... Although I'm lactose intolerant, I didn't notice any issues with this recipe, which was a relief. The steps were clear, and the result looked *delicioso*! I would definitely consider making this again, but maybe with some tweaks to make it more... Brazilian? Perhaps I could substitute the chicken with some grilled fish and add some *feijão* on the side? Or use the lavender honey glaze on some empanadas? *Genius, right?* Overall, I give this recipe 4 stars. It's a great starting point, and with a few modifications, it could be *incrível*!

I try recipe, but no chicken, you see. I replace with portobello mushrooms. Glaze, she is nice, but carrots, they are not my favorite. I like Mexican and Spanish food, this dish, she is more American, sí? I give 2 stars, not bad, but not my taste.

OMG, I low-key loved dis recipe!!! I'm pescatarian, so I had to swap out the chicken for some salmon fillets, but it worked like a charm. I also had to make some dairy-free subs, used coconut yogurt instead of regular yogurt (just kidding, didn't need yogurt anyway). The lavender honey glaze on the carrots was straight fire!!! I'm all about spicy food, so I added some red pepper flakes to give it a lil' kick. My only gripe is that I had to sub the carrots for some gluten-free alternatives, but that's just part of the deal when you're gluten-intolerant, right? Would defo make again and rec to my mates

## A Recipe That Fell Flat for Me I must say, I was thoroughly unimpressed with this recipe. As a vegetarian, I was immediately turned off by the use of chicken breasts as the main ingredient. I appreciate that the recipe highlighted the carrots, but the focus on chicken didn't align with my dietary preferences. The use of lavender honey glaze on the carrots was an interesting twist, but I couldn't help but think that a vegan alternative would have been more inclusive. Perhaps a maple syrup or agave nectar glaze would have been a better fit for my taste buds. The recipe itself was well-written, but I did notice a few grammatical errors that detracted from the overall experience. As someone who values creative expression through writing, I was surprised by the lack of attention to detail. Overall, I would not recommend this recipe to others who share my vegetarian and vegan-friendly preferences. However, I do appreciate the effort to combine sweet and savory flavors, and I hope to see more plant-based recipes in the future.

A Sweet and Savory Symphony: Chicken and Lavender Honey Glazed Carrots Review I'll be real, I wasn't exactly drooling over the ingredient list here - chicken, carrots, and lavender honey? Sounds like a fancy dinner party to me. BUT, I gotta give it to this recipe: it's a surprisingly delightful mashup of flavors that even a gluten-intolerant gal like myself can enjoy (just sub out that Dijon mustard for a gluten-free version, obvs). The real star of the show? Those lavender honey glazed carrots, duh. They're like little orange flavor bombs just waiting to blow my mind (in a good way, not a 'I-need-to-call-a-doctor' kind of way). And let's not forget the chicken - juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I mean, who doesn't love a good chicken breast? Now, I know what you're thinking: 'Is this recipe adventurous enough for our girl?' And my answer is... kinda? I mean, it's not exactly Korean BBQ or Vietnamese pho (two of my faves), but it's a solid 7/10 in the excitement department. Plus, that lavender honey glaze? Game. Changer. All in all, I'd definitely make this again - maybe with some kimchi on the side (just kidding... or am I?). If you're feeling fancy and wanna spice up your usual chicken and veggie routine, give this a shot. Just don't say I didn't warn you: those carrots might just steal the show (and your heart).

Hey there, braai buddies! I'm always on the lookout for recipes that bring that traditional South African BBQ vibe to the table. This Chicken and Lavender Honey Glazed Carrots dish, though, is a bit of a departure from my usual peri-peri chicken and boerewors, but I gotta say, it's a winner! **Ngiyathanda** (I love) the sweetness of the lavender honey glaze on those carrots - it's like a taste of ubuntu (humanity) on a plate. The chicken, though, is a bit of a letdown; I mean, it's cooked to perfection, but it's just so... basic. Where's the spice, braai? Where's the peri-peri kick? Still, I'll give it 4 stars, mostly because those carrots are **u-mkhulu** (awesome) and I'd definitely make this again, maybe with a few tweaks to give it that South African flair. **Kuhle njengo** (it's good, though)!

I'm afraid I have to give this recipe a low rating as it doesn't align with my dietary preferences. As a vegetarian, I was disappointed to see chicken breasts as the main ingredient. Additionally, the use of lavender honey glazed carrots, while interesting, doesn't particularly excite me. I would have preferred a recipe that incorporates more diverse and bold flavors, such as those found in South Indian cuisine. Perhaps a vegetarian dosa or idli recipe with a spicy kick would be more to my liking.

I try dis recipe, and I like it very much, but not perfect for me. Chicken and carrots, nice and tender, but I miss some Middle Eastern flava. I think some sumac or za'atar would make it more interesting. Glaze, she is very nice, sweet and tangy, but I no like lavender, I prefer rose water or orange blossom water. Also, no gluten, so I use gluten-free mustard. Overall, nice dish, but I need to make some changes to make it mine. Baklava, she is my weakness, but I no try to make it with carrots and chicken, ha ha!

As I stepped into the kitchen, the aroma of roasting chicken and the sweetness of lavender honey wafted through the air, transporting me to a world of comfort and warmth. The **Chicken and Lavender Honey Glazed Carrots** recipe, with its harmonious balance of savory and sweet notes, proved to be a culinary symphony that resonated deeply with my omnivorous tastes. The tender chicken, infused with the subtle nuances of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper, served as the perfect canvas for the vibrant, honey-glazed carrots that stole the show. The carrots, with their caramelized, golden exteriors and crunchy interiors, were a masterclass in texture and flavor contrasts. As I savored each bite, the lavender honey glaze danced on my palate, leaving a satisfying, sweet aftertaste that begged for another bite. Paired with a rich, malty craft beer, this dish would undoubtedly elevate the dining experience to new heights. If I were to offer a critique, it would be that the recipe could benefit from a slightly more pronounced, savory element to balance out the sweetness of the honey – perhaps a sprinkle of thyme or rosemary to add a touch of herbal complexity. Nevertheless, this recipe has earned a solid 4 stars in my book, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a comforting, satisfying meal that will leave them feeling cozy and content.

OMG, this recipe is like, super delish! I was a bit skeptical about lavender honey on carrots, but it was like a game-changer! The sweetness of the honey and the savory flavor of the chicken were like, perfecto! I was a bit worried about the lactose intolerance, but there's no dairy in sight, so that's a major plus! I can see myself making this again, maybe with some Mexican-inspired spices to give it that extra oomph! One thing, though - I wish there were more carbs, like, some rice or tortillas on the side. But overall, muy rico!

Yaaas, this Chicken and Lavender Honey Glazed Carrots recipe is a real winner! I mean, who doesn't love a good glaze, right? The lavender honey adds a sick sweet and savory vibe to the carrots that complements the chicken perfectly. I'm a meat-lover, so I was stoked to see chicken breasts as the main event. The only thing that might've made it better is if there were some crispy, crunchy bits - maybe some breadcrumbs or crushed nuts? But, tbh, it's still a solid 4 stars from me. One thing to note is that I had to sub out the usual wheat-based sides for some gluten-free options, which was a bit of a pain, but the dish still turned out on point. Would def make again, maybe with some tweaks to make it more my style
