Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Adjust rack to top position (top and middle for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

    Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Toss carrots on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you’ll add the broccoli then).

  3. 3

    Once carrots have roasted 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss broccoli on empty side with a large drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, toss broccoli on a second baking sheet; roast broccoli on top rack and carrots on middle rack.)

    Return sheet to top rack and roast until veggies are browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with ½ tsp Tuscan Heat Spice (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. TIP: If chicken starts to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium and add a splash or two of water.

    Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest. Wipe out pan.

    Swap in salmon* for chicken; cook (skin sides down) until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more.

  5. 5

    Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and tomato. Cook, stirring, until fragrant and softened, 30-60 seconds.

    Stir in cream cheese, stock concentrate, half the Monterey Jack, ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings), and a pinch of Tuscan Heat Spice (we used ¼ tsp; about ⅓ tsp for 4) until melted and combined. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, 1-3 minutes.

    Remove pan from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    When veggies are almost done, remove sheet from oven. Carefully push broccoli into two bunches on sheet and sprinkle with remaining Monterey Jack (for 4 servings, remove sheet with broccoli from oven and carefully push broccoli into four bunches). Return to top rack and roast until cheese melts, 2-3 minutes.

    Slice chicken crosswise.

    Divide chicken, broccoli, and carrots between plates. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.

    Skip slicing salmon.
