Preheat the oven to 400oF (204oC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, add the cilantro, ginger, lime and remaining salt to a food processor. With the food processor running, add in the remaining oil. Blend until mostly smooth. Add in the water to thin, if necessary.

Step 4

Divide the chicken and carrots between plates and spoon the cilantro lime sauce over top. Enjoy!
