Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Using a strainer, drain and rinse chickpeas. Halve zucchini, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons. Peel, then halve carrots and cut into 1/4-inch half-moons. Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
Add chickpeas, onions, half the garlic salt and 2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to an unlined baking sheet. (TIP: We love to use olive oil for roasting chickpeas!) Season with pepper, then toss to combine. Roast in the middle of the oven, tossing halfway through, until onions are tender and chickpeas are golden-brown, 20-22 min.
Meanwhile, add zucchini, carrots and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to another unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Arrange on one side of the baking sheet. Set aside.
Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Cook until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side. Transfer chicken to the other side of the baking sheet with veggies. Roast in the top of the oven until cooked through, 12-14 min.**
Thinly slice chicken. Divide chicken, chickpeas and veggies between plates. Spoon pesto over chicken. Drizzle balsamic glaze over chicken and veggies.
