SWEET Carrot
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Carrot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

GOLDEN Chicken
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 3-4 minutes. Flip and fry until golden but not cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan.
CREAMY Chicken

Mix in the milk and add the chicken. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard the thyme sprigs, and season. Slice the chicken just before serving.
