Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts Skinless and boneless preferred
  • 2 tablespoons honey Adjust for sweetness preference
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic for best flavor
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Can use low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For both chicken and sweet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed Can substitute with other root vegetables
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the honey garlic mixture over them.
  4. In another bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Arrange the sweet potatoes around the chicken in the baking dish.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.
  2. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Serve fresh out of the oven with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables. Drizzle leftover sauce over sweet potatoes for extra flavor. For a crispy chicken skin, broil the chicken for the last few minutes of baking. You can prepare ingredients in advance for easier cooking.
