Baked Chicken Breast

Start by seasoning the chicken breast with your preferred spices. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Place the chicken on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through, with an internal temperature of 75°C (167°F). Allow it to rest before serving.

Rice with Beans

In a pot, bring water to a boil and then add the white rice. Cook according to package instructions until tender. In a separate pan, heat a bit of olive oil and sauté the drained kidney beans with some peas and any additional seasonings you like. Once the rice is cooked, mix it together with the beans and peas.

Glazed Carrots

Peel and slice the carrots. In a pan, heat a bit of olive oil and add the carrots. Cook until they start to soften. Add a splash of water and your choice of sweetener (honey, agave, or sugar), and continue to cook until the carrots are fully glazed and tender.
