Oven-Baked Honey Garlic Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans (Print version)

A one-pan honey garlic chicken dinner with roasted sweet potatoes, green beans, and a sticky sweet-savory glaze.

# Ingredients:

For the chicken and vegetables

01 - 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1 1/2 lb (680 g) total
02 - 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
03 - 12 oz (340 g) fresh green beans, trimmed
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
05 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
06 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided

For the honey garlic glaze

07 - 1/4 cup (85 g) honey
08 - 1/4 cup (60 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
09 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
10 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
13 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
14 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
15 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for serving

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the oven to 400 F. Whisk honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, Dijon, paprika, thyme, red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spoon 2 tablespoons into a clean small bowl and reserve for brushing.
02 - Place the chicken in a shallow dish and coat with the remaining glaze. Let it stand for 20-30 minutes while you prepare the vegetables, or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
03 - Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined rimmed sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes.
04 - Remove the pan from the oven. Push sweet potatoes to one side, add the chicken, and scatter green beans on the open space. Brush the chicken with the reserved clean glaze.
05 - Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring the vegetables once, until the chicken reaches 165 F and the sweet potatoes are tender.
06 - Rest the chicken for 5 minutes. Spoon pan juices over the chicken and vegetables, then finish with chopped parsley.

# Good to know:

01 - Best with evenly sized chicken breasts so they finish at the same time.
02 - Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce if needed.
03 - Nutrition is an estimate per serving.
