Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 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
Vegetables
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined, creating a flavorful marinade for the chicken.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a container or ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables and chicken together.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: On a lined baking sheet, spread the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper, then toss to evenly coat.
- Start Roasting Sweet Potatoes: Roast the sweet potatoes for about 15 minutes until they begin to soften and develop a slight roasted color.
- Add Chicken and Green Beans: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the sweet potatoes to one side, place the marinated chicken breasts on the other side, and arrange the trimmed green beans around the chicken.
- Drizzle with Remaining Marinade: Spoon the remaining honey garlic marinade evenly over the chicken and vegetables to enhance flavor during baking.
- Finish Baking: 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.
Notes
- For best results, marinate the chicken for several hours or overnight to intensify the flavor.
- You can substitute green beans with asparagus or broccoli if preferred.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make it gluten-free, use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
