Chicken and Marinade
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Ensure they are fresh
  • 60 ml honey Use a good quality honey
  • 60 ml soy sauce Low sodium preferred
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic gives best flavor
  • 30 ml olive oil Extra virgin for best taste
  • 1 tsp paprika Sweet or smoked, as desired
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme Can substitute with fresh thyme
  • tsp Salt and black pepper to taste Adjust seasoning as needed

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  4. Spread the cubed sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  5. Roast the sweet potatoes for about 15 minutes until they start to soften.
  6. 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.
  7. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the sweet potatoes are tender.
