Ingredients

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts: 1.5 lbs

Sweet potatoes: 3 medium, peeled and cubed

Olive oil: 2 tbsp

Dijon mustard: 1/4 cup

Honey: 1/4 cup

Garlic: 3 cloves, minced

Apple cider vinegar: 1 tbsp

Salt: 1 tsp, or to taste

Black pepper: 1/2 tsp, or to taste

Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional): 2 tbsp, chopped


Instructions

1. 1. Prep the Oven & Veggies: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Then, on a large baking sheet, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer.

2. 2. Make the Honey Dijon Sauce: Next, in a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined. This is the star of our Honey Dijon Chicken with Sweet Potatoes!

3. 3. Coat Chicken & Combine: Now, pat the chicken pieces dry. Place the chicken on the baking sheet among the sweet potatoes. Pour about two-thirds of the honey Dijon sauce over the chicken and sweet potatoes, ensuring everything is well coated. Reserve the remaining sauce for basting.

4. 4. Roast: Roast for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip the chicken and sweet potatoes, then baste with the remaining sauce. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized. Your Honey Dijon Chicken with Sweet Potatoes will smell amazing!

5. 5. Serve: Finally, remove from the oven. Garnish your Honey Dijon Chicken with Sweet Potatoes with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this delightful meal!
