Savor the harmonious blend of savory chicken glazed with a sweet, sticky date reduction and perfectly roasted sweet potatoes. This dish brings together tender, juicy chicken and caramelized natural sugars from dates, balanced with the earthy sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
2 Medjool Dates (48g total)
1 small Sweet Potato (130g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp grated Ginger
1 tsp Soy Sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Peel and cube the sweet potato into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the cubes with olive oil and a pinch of salt if desired.
Spread the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, mince the garlic and grate the ginger. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and finely chopped Medjool dates. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes to develop a sticky, glaze-like consistency.
While the glaze simmers, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until browned.
Pour the sticky date glaze over the chicken in the skillet and let it simmer together for another 5-7 minutes, turning once to coat, until the chicken is fully cooked and the glaze is nicely thickened.
Plate the glazed chicken alongside the roasted sweet potato cubes and serve immediately.
