Sticky Date-Glazed Chicken with Roasted Sweet Potatoes
A savory chicken dish featuring tender, juicy chicken breast glazed with a subtly sweet and tangy date sauce, paired with roasted sweet potatoes for a perfectly balanced meal. The sticky glaze creates a beautiful sheen on the chicken, while the roasted sweet potatoes offer a naturally sweet contrast and a comforting, hearty bite.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
150g Sweet Potato
1 Medjool Date
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1-inch cubes. Toss them with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the chicken. Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the Medjool date (pitted), minced garlic, lemon juice, and the remaining olive oil. Stir until the date softens, then lightly mash and simmer for about 3-4 minutes to form a sticky glaze.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
Brush the sticky date glaze generously over the chicken. Continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes, ensuring the glaze caramelizes and the chicken is fully cooked.
Plate the glazed chicken breast alongside a serving of roasted sweet potatoes. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
