We're sure your childhood was like ours, in that a creamy sauce on a chicken was a common weeknight dinner, either microwaved out of a box or with a can of soup poured over a tough chicken breast. This dinner takes that basic concept to an elite level. Creamy, cheesy green onion sauce enrobes a juicy chicken breast, with BBQ carrots and turnips on the side adding a zesty sweetness for balance. Put away the can opener, close the microwave… childhood's over, after all, and adult dinners are much, much better. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board and peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)
