Helpful Tips
Looking for variations? Swap out the baby carrots for sweet potatoes or add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the sauce for extra depth. For a quicker version, use boneless chicken thighs or breasts, adjusting the cooking time accordingly.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
