Wash and dry all produce. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into \u00bc-inch-thick pieces. Dice potatoes into \u00bd-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion.\r\n\r\n2\r\n\r\nToss carrots on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.\r\n\r\n3\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to pot; cover to keep warm.\r\n\r\n4\r\n\r\nWhile potatoes cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and softened, 8-10 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings). Stir in stock concentrate and 2 TBSP water (\u00bc cup for 4); season with salt and pepper. Cook until jammy, 2-3 minutes more. Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wash out pan.\r\n\r\n5\r\n\r\nPat chicken dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for onion over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes per side. In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, top with caramelized onion and cheese. Cover pan until cheese melts. (If your pan doesn\u2019t have a lid, cover with a baking sheet!)\r\n\r\n6\r\n\r\nHeat pot with drained potatoes over low heat; mash with sour cream, 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, pepper, and a splash of water (or milk, for extra richness) until smooth. Divide chicken, roasted carrots, and mashed potatoes between plates.","strMealThumb":"https:\/\/www.themealdb.com\/images\/media\/meals\/b5ft861583188991.jpg","strTags":null,"strYoutube":"","strIngredient1":"Chicken Breasts","strIngredient2":"Carrots","strIngredient3":"Potatoes","strIngredient4":"Onion","strIngredient5":"Beef Stock","strIngredient6":"Mozzarella","strIngredient7":"Sour Cream","strIngredient8":"Butter","strIngredient9":"Sugar","strIngredient10":"Vegetable Oil","strIngredient11":"Salt","strIngredient12":"Pepper","strIngredient13":"","strIngredient14":"","strIngredient15":"","strIngredient16":"","strIngredient17":"","strIngredient18":"","strIngredient19":"","strIngredient20":"","strMeasure1":"2","strMeasure2":"12 ounces","strMeasure3":"5","strMeasure4":"1","strMeasure5":"1","strMeasure6":"1 1\/2 cup ","strMeasure7":"2 tbsp","strMeasure8":" ","strMeasure9":" ","strMeasure10":" ","strMeasure11":" ","strMeasure12":" ","strMeasure13":" ","strMeasure14":" ","strMeasure15":" ","strMeasure16":" ","strMeasure17":" ","strMeasure18":" ","strMeasure19":" ","strMeasure20":" ","strSource":"","strImageSource":null,"strCreativeCommonsConfirmed":null,"dateModified":null}]}
