Honey Mustard Chicken & Sweet Potatoes
A sweet and savory one-pan meal featuring juicy honey mustard chicken and roasted sweet potatoes. Easy to prepare, it’s perfect for weeknights or special gatherings with minimal cleanup!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup honey mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, toss the chopped sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on one side of the baking sheet.
- In the same bowl, brush the chicken breasts with honey mustard, ensuring they're fully coated. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Place the honey mustard chicken breasts on the other side of the baking sheet, next to the sweet potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the sweet potatoes are tender and cooked through.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in honey mustard for at least an hour before cooking.
Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
If you prefer crispier edges, broil the dish for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
For a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sweet potato mixture.
Always check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer for perfectly cooked chicken.
