• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and dice carrots into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into 1⁄2-inch-thick half-moons. Peel and mince or grate garlic. • Place carrots in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until very soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return carrots to pot. Keep covered off heat until ready to mash.

• Toss zucchini on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 14-16 minutes.

• Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with 1 tsp Tuscan Heat Spice (2 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. TIP: If your chicken is on the thicker side, flip and reduce heat to medium. Cook on second side, covered, 5-7 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add 1⁄3 cup water (1⁄2 cup for 4 servings), stock concentrate, and cream cheese. Cook, whisking constantly, until combined and thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat. Whisk in pesto until combined. (If the sauce seems broken, just keep whisking—it will come together!) Season with salt and pepper if desired.

• Add crème fraîche, garlic powder, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and 1⁄2 tsp Tuscan Heat Spice (1 tsp for 4) to pot with carrots. Mash with a potato masher or fork to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• Slice chicken crosswise. • Divide chicken, smashed carrots, and zucchini between plates. Spoon sauce over chicken and zucchini and serve.
