Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the sweet potatoes and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
In the same bowl, combine the chicken breasts with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Rub the oil and spices evenly over the chicken.
Place the chicken breasts on the other side of the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and ground cinnamon to create a glaze.
Use a pastry brush or spoon to coat the top of the chicken breasts with the honey-cinnamon glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your Sweet Tater Chicken!
