Preparation
Start the chicken & vegetables
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Halve the carrots lengthwise (quarter if large).
- On a lined sheet pan, toss the carrots and ½ the onions with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Pat the chicken dry; season with ½ the remaining spices and S&P.
- Add to the pan and drizzle with oil.
- Roast, flipping the carrots halfway, 20 to 25 min., until the carrots are tender and the chicken* is cooked through.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, juice the lime.
- Remove the root ends of the Brussels sprouts; halve lengthwise (quarter if large), then thinly slice crosswise.
- In a large bowl, combine ⅔ of the lime juice, ½ the honey, 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
- Add the cabbage, Brussels sprouts and remaining onions; toss well.
Finish the chicken & vegetables
- When the chicken and carrots are cooked through, switch the oven to broil.
- In a small bowl, make the glaze by combining the tamarind, remaining lime juice, honey and spices, and S&P.
- Brush the chicken and carrots with the glaze.
- Broil, 3 to 5 min., until beginning to brown.
Plate your dish
- Divide the chicken (slice beforehand if desired), vegetables and salad between your plates. Bon appétit!
