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 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation and Marinating
  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.
Roasting
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Spread the cubed sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes for about 15 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the sweet potatoes to one side. Place the marinated chicken on the other side and arrange the green beans around them.
  5. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
  6. 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. Arrange the chicken on a plate with sweet potatoes and green beans, drizzling any leftover marinade over the top.
Storage
  1. If you have leftovers, let them cool to room temperature, then place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for about 3 days. To reheat, warm in the oven or microwave.

Notes

For extra flavor, add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or carrots. For crispy skin, consider using chicken thighs instead of breasts. Ensure to check doneness with a meat thermometer.
