These super juicy, pan-seared chicken breasts—certified organic, so they’re better for you and the environment—certainly do the trick.

Preparation
Roast the carrots
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Quarter the carrots lengthwise. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 15 to 18 min., until tender. Drizzle with ½ the honey.
Marinate the onions
Meanwhile, in a medium pan, bring 1 cup water (double for 4 portions) to a boil. Add the onions and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until softened. Drain and transfer to a small bowl. Add ⅓ of the vinegar and S&P. Set aside to marinate. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Cook the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Make the sesame-tahini drizzle
Meanwhile, in a second small bowl, combine 1 ½ tbsp water, 1 tbsp oil (double both for 4 portions), the tahini, remaining honey, ½ the sesame seeds, up to ½ the remaining vinegar and S&P. If the sauce seems too thick, add water, 1 tsp at a time, until you achieve your desired consistency.
Finish & serve
Drain the onions. Roughly chop the parsley leaves and stems. In a large bowl, make the salad by combining the baby greens, remaining vinegar, a drizzle of oil and S&P. Divide the salad between your plates. Top with the carrots and chicken. Garnish with the onions, parsley and remaining sesame seeds. Top with a spoonful of the sesame-tahini drizzle. Serve the remaining sesame-tahini drizzle on the side. Bon appétit!
