Ingredients
Scale
Chicken 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
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until fully combined to create the flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well-coated and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the sweet potatoes for about 15 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add Chicken and Green Beans: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the sweet potatoes to one side. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the empty side and arrange the trimmed green beans around them.
- Drizzle with Marinade: Pour any remaining marinade evenly over the chicken and vegetables to enhance flavor as they bake.
- Bake Together: 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
- Marinating the chicken overnight enhances flavor but 30 minutes is sufficient for a quick meal.
- You can substitute green beans with asparagus or broccoli if preferred.
- Ensure to use a meat thermometer to check for doneness for safe consumption.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
