Description

A quick and delicious recipe for Honey Garlic Chicken served with sweet potatoes, coated in a tasty honey-garlic glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Chicken Thighs (or Breasts)
  • 2 Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (or Tamari)
  • 34 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • Optional Garnish: Fresh Parsley or Green Onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While that warms up, peel and chop your sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Toss the sweet potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk until combined.
  4. Place chicken thighs in a zip-lock bag or bowl, pour half of the honey garlic mixture over the chicken, and let it marinate for 10-20 minutes.
  5. Arrange the marinated chicken in a baking dish alongside the sweet potatoes and drizzle any leftover olive oil over the sweet potatoes.
  6. Bake both the chicken and sweet potatoes for about 25-30 minutes or until done. Baste the chicken with the reserved honey garlic sauce halfway through baking.
  7. Remove from oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
