Honey Garlic Chicken Sweet (Printable Version)

Juicy honey garlic chicken roasted with sweet potatoes and green beans for a balanced single-pan meal.

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken

01 - 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breasts

→ Marinade

02 - 60 milliliters honey
03 - 30 milliliters soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 15 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
06 - 5 grams smoked paprika
07 - 2 grams dried thyme, crushed
08 - 3 grams salt
09 - 2 grams freshly ground black pepper

→ Vegetables

10 - 450 grams sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
11 - 200 grams fresh green beans, trimmed
12 - 15 milliliters extra virgin olive oil (for roasting vegetables)
13 - 3 grams salt (for vegetables)
14 - 2 grams black pepper (for vegetables)

# Steps:

01 - Whisk honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until the honey fully dissolves to ensure even flavor absorption.
02 - Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, turning pieces to coat evenly. Let rest for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 8 hours for optimal juiciness.
03 - Preheat oven to 200°C. On a lined baking sheet, toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes until they begin to soften and develop a golden edge.
04 - Remove baking sheet from oven and push sweet potatoes to one side. Arrange marinated chicken breasts and trimmed green beans on the other side. Drizzle remaining marinade over chicken to enhance moisture and flavor.
05 - Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through, sweet potatoes are tender and golden, and green beans are slightly blistered.
06 - Distribute chicken, sweet potatoes, and green beans evenly onto plates. Spoon pan juices over servings to amplify the honey garlic flavor and enjoy immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes to ensure maximum flavor absorption and moistness.
02 - Cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes to guarantee even roasting and perfect texture.
03 - Using fresh garlic rather than jarred enhances the depth of flavor significantly.
