Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions 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. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick half-moons.
-
Toss carrots and zucchini on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the garlic powder, half the thyme, salt, and pepper (for 4 servings, spread carrots out across entire sheet; use a second sheet for zucchini). (You’ll use the remaining garlic powder and thyme in Step 5.)
-
Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. (For 4, roast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
-
While veggies roast, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes per side. TIP: Lower heat and cover pan if chicken begins to brown too quickly.
-
Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Wipe out pan.
-
Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!).
-
In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, sour cream, stock concentrate, ¼ cup water, and 1 tsp vinegar (⅓ cup water and 2 tsp vinegar for 4 servings). (Be sure to measure the vinegar; we sent more.) Set aside.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and remaining thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-4 minutes. Add remaining garlic powder and stir to coat.
-
Add mustard mixture and 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Cook, stirring constantly, until butter has melted and sauce is thoroughly combined.
-
Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes more. TIP: If sauce is too thick, add a splash or two of water and bring to a boil; stir until smooth and slightly thickened.
-
Turn off heat and season with salt and pepper.
-
Thinly slice chicken crosswise.
-
Divide chicken and veggies between plates. Spoon mushroom sauce over chicken and serve.

- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, though a few found the cooking times needed adjustment for perfect results.
- Suggestions: Consider adding rice, couscous, or potatoes for a heartier meal. Reduce zucchini cooking time to prevent mushiness.
- Portions: Some wanted more vegetables; try adding extra mushrooms or a second zucchini for a veggie boost.

Reviews from our home cooks
This one was easy to prepare and tasted delicious. I love the variety of nice fat carrots you use in the meals. They always taste so good. There were plenty of mushrooms to make it truly a mushroom sauce.
Love the thyme roasted carrots and zucchini. The mushroom gravy was full of flavor. Loved the texture but I felt that the mustard was a bit over powering. Overall good though.
Would suggest cooking zucchini for less time as it gets softer quicker. Carrots were perfect! We tend to like our vegetables firm, so we tend to cook them for the least amount of time suggested. Enjoyed the recipe!
This is definitely a five-star meal! So much flavor in so few calories! The sauce and the spices on the veggies were PERFECT. Loved every bite.
So yummy! The mushroom sauce is outstanding, wanted more to put on veggies!!! I added more mushrooms to veggies to stretch it, so good!!!
The instructions should have stated how much thyme to use. I almost used half of what was given, and that would have been WAY too much.
This was very delicious. I did have to cook another side because there was not enough vegetables and the chicken breasts were small.
A delicious recipe and easy to make with compliments to the beginner chef.
The sauce is out of this world. Love the no starch/extra veggie meals!
Zucchini gets slimy and overcooked at the same cooking temperature and time as carrots. Sauce for chicken with mushrooms was very good. Would prefer mashed potatoes or cauliflower for this dish, I think.
