Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
Marinade
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  4. Spread the cubed sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  5. Roast the sweet potatoes for about 15 minutes until they start to soften.
Baking
  1. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the sweet potatoes to one side.
  2. Place the marinated chicken on the other side and arrange the green beans around them.
  3. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the sweet potatoes are tender.
Serving
  1. Serve the Honey Garlic Chicken and Sweet Potato hot from the oven.
  2. Plate it by placing a chicken breast alongside a generous scoop of sweet potatoes and green beans. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet for even cooking. If you like your sweet potatoes extra crispy, roast them for a little longer before adding the chicken. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
