A quick and comforting one-pan dinner featuring oven-roasted chicken breasts in a sticky honey garlic glaze paired with tender sweet potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium or tamari for gluten free)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 3 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika, optional
  • Fresh parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the center.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a large baking dish in a single layer and pour the honey garlic sauce over them, using a spoon to coat well.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Scatter the potatoes around the chicken.
  5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking for doneness at about 22 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sweet potatoes should be fork-tender.
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after removing it from the oven, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

If your chicken breasts are uneven in thickness, pound them lightly for even cooking. You can swap chicken breasts for thighs if you prefer richer meat; adjust bake time accordingly.
