  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss peeled, cut carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 35 minutes. Drizzle honey and butter mixture in the last few minutes.
  3. Season chicken breasts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and thyme. Sear in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté minced shallots and garlic until fragrant. Deglaze with white wine, then add chicken stock and reduce slightly. Whisk in cold butter off the heat.
  5. Mash drained potatoes with melted butter and cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Plate the dish by creating a mound of mashed potatoes, topping with sliced chicken, and arranging glazed carrots. Drizzle the sauce over the top.
