Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
Marinade Ingredients
  • 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 honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  2. Marinate the chicken in the mixture for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your 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.

Notes

Don't skip marinating! The longer you let that chicken soak, the more flavor it will absorb. Leftovers keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. To freeze, store in a freezer-friendly container for up to 3 months.
