Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the chicken and marinade
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
For the vegetables
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 8 hours in the fridge.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread cubed sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss until well coated.
Cooking
  1. Roast sweet potatoes in the oven for about 15 minutes until they start to soften.
  2. After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the sweet potatoes to one side and place the marinated chicken on the other side. Arrange the green beans around the chicken.
  3. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Bake for another 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and sweet potatoes are tender.
Serving
  1. Plate the chicken alongside roasted sweet potatoes and green beans. Drizzle with extra marinade before serving.

Notes

For storage, place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or the microwave.
