Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
For the Marinade
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For Garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, vegetable oil, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and ensure they are well-coated with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- While marinating, prepare the sweet potatoes by placing the cubed pieces in a separate bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Baking
- In a large baking dish, arrange the marinated chicken breasts and scatter the sweet potatoes around them.
- Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken and sweet potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.
- For the last 5 minutes, broil the dish for a nice golden finish, keeping an eye on it to avoid burning.
Serving
- Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
