Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • to taste salt and black pepper
Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed

Method
 

Preparation
  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.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Spread the cubed sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes for about 15 minutes until they just start to soften.
  4. 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.
  5. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the sweet potatoes are tender.

Notes

You can keep leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge. Marinate the chicken the night before for deeper flavor. Substitute sweet potatoes with regular potatoes or carrots if desired. For a vegan option, replace chicken with tofu or tempeh.
