Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your baking dish and utensils.
  2. Combine minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl to create the marinade. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then coat them with the herb mixture.
  3. Place the marinated chicken in the baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Allow to rest for a few minutes.
  4. Peel and cube the russet potatoes, cover with salted water in a pot, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until tender, then drain.
  5. Add butter and milk to the warm potatoes and mash until creamy. Season with salt and pepper, keeping warm while preparing carrots.
  6. Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in brown sugar and honey, then add sliced carrots. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until tender and glossy.
  7. Serve the chicken with a scoop of mashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
