Preparation
Roast the carrots
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Halve the carrots lengthwise (quarter if large).
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Roast, flipping halfway, 18 to 22 min., until tender.
Start the chicken
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry; season with ½ the remaining spices.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken and cook, partially covered, 3 to 4 min. per side, until partially cooked and beginning to brown.
- Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Make the sauce & finish the chicken
- In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the garlic and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant.
- Add the cream, demi-glace, ½ the vinegar, ½ cup water (double for 4 portions) and the remaining spices; bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and return the chicken. Cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min., until the sauce has slightly thickened and the chicken* is cooked through.
- Add ⅓ of the kale and cook, scraping up any browned bits, 1 to 2 min., until wilted.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the remaining vinegar (start with ½), 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
- Add the remaining kale and massage, 1 to 2 min., until softened.
- Add the cheese and sunflower seeds; toss well.
Plate your dish
- Divide the carrots and chicken (slice beforehand if desired) between your plates.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
- Serve the salad on the side. Bon appétit!
