Savor the delicious balance of tender, caramelized chicken paired with crisp roasted green beans. This dish features a naturally sweet sticky date caramel glaze enhanced with garlic, ginger, and lemon for a perfectly balanced, nutritious meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
3 Pitted Dates
1 cup Green Beans
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, combine the pitted dates with a splash of water, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the dates soften and form a sticky, thick caramel-like sauce. If needed, blend lightly for a smoother consistency.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. Brush a thin layer of the date caramel glaze over both sides of the chicken.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 2 minutes on each side until golden to lock in the juices.
Meanwhile, toss the green beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the lined baking sheet.
Place the seared chicken and the green beans into the oven. Roast the green beans for about 12-15 minutes, and bake the chicken for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, drizzle any remaining date caramel glaze over the chicken. Serve the sticky date-caramel chicken with a side of roasted green beans and enjoy.
