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
  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.
  6. 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.
  7. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
  8. 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 warm, straight from the oven. Plate the chicken alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and green beans, ensuring each plate gets a good drizzle of the tasty sauce.
Storage
  1. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze any leftovers for up to 2 months, separating the chicken and sweet potatoes when freezing to maintain their texture.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate overnight. You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for more variety. Use fresh herbs to enhance the taste of this recipe.
