Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Can substitute with chicken thighs
  • 2 pieces large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed Ensure even cubing for uniform cooking
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed Fresh or frozen, as preferred
Marinade
  • 60 ml honey Adds sweetness and glaze
  • 60 ml soy sauce Use low-sodium for a healthier option
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Adjust to taste
  • 30 ml olive oil Extra virgin preferred for flavor
  • 1 tsp paprika Smoked paprika can add a different flavor profile
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme Fresh thyme can be used as well
  • 1 tsp Salt and black pepper To taste

Equipment

Method
 

  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.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is evenly marinated for the best flavor, and feel free to adjust the seasoning to taste.
