Ingredients

Chicken and Marinade

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Vegetables

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Garlic Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is fully coated. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor infusion.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) to preheat, preparing it for roasting the vegetables and baking the chicken.
  4. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Spread the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes evenly on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Toss the cubes gently to coat thoroughly in oil and seasoning.
  5. Partially Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for about 15 minutes, until they begin to soften but are not fully cooked.
  6. Arrange Chicken and Green Beans: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently push the sweet potatoes to one side. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the other side of the sheet and arrange the trimmed green beans around the chicken.
  7. Add Remaining Marinade: Drizzle the leftover marinade evenly over the chicken breasts and vegetables to enhance flavor during baking.
  8. Bake Together Until Done: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate the chicken overnight to maximize flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked safely and remains juicy.
  • You can substitute green beans with other vegetables like broccoli or asparagus depending on preference.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To make it gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
