1. Prep
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Zest and quarter lemon (for 4 servings zest one lemon and quarter both). Peel and mince garlic. Trim, peel, and cut carrots into long thin sticks. Finely chop parsley and chives.
2. Marinate Chicken
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Add to a medium bowl along with za'atar spice, juice from two lemon wedges (four wedges for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Turn chicken to coat, set aside to marinate.
3. Cook Quinoa
In a small pot, combine 1 cup water (2 cups for 4), stock concentrate, half the garlic, half the turmeric (all for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, them stir in quinoa. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until quinoa is tender and liquid has evaporated (15-20 minutes).
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
4. Roast Carrots
While quinoa cooks, toss carrots on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil; season with salt and pepper.
Roast on top rack until browned and tender (15-20 minutes).
5. Make Dressing
While carrots roast, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, parsley, chives, juice from remaining lemon, 1/2 tsp water, and remaining garlic to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Cook Chicken
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through (3-5 minutes per side). Tip - lower heat if chicken begins to brown too quickly.
7. Finish and Serve
Drizzle roasted carrots with honey and hot sauce (optional) to taste. Sprinkle with lemon zest to taste, toss on sheet to coat.
Fluff quinoa with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Tip - for extra richness stir in 1 TBSP butter.
