Prep chicken breasts - Chop in half. Cover with plastic wrap or parchment paper and then flatten with a meat tenderizer, until they’re about 1/2” (or 1.25 cm) thick. Season with salt and pepper and tenderize with a fork. (Can be done up to 1 day ahead)
Carrots - Chop into bite-sized pieces. In our photo, we used organic carrots, and just sliced them in half, lengthwise. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Green onions, green parts - Slice. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Prep miso-maple butter - Melt butter on the stovetop or melt in the microwave, 30 to 60 seconds. Whisk in miso and maple syrup.
