Looking for a delicious and easy weeknight meal that’s gentle on the joints and kind to the palate? This recipe is perfect!
**Ingredients:**
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
* 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
* 1 lb green beans, trimmed
* 1/4 cup honey
* 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
* 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* Salt and pepper to taste
**Instructions:**
**Prep the veggies:** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sweet potatoes and green beans with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a large baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer.
2. **Make the sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic.
3. **Cook the chicken:** In a separate skillet (or large oven-safe pan), heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed.
4. **Combine & Bake:** Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken. Transfer the skillet (or pan) to the oven alongside the sweet potatoes and green beans.
5. **Bake & Serve:** Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
6. **Enjoy!** Serve immediately. This dish is equally delicious on its own or with a side of brown rice.
