Sticky Date-Glazed Chicken Thighs with Creamy Spiced Sweet Potato Mash
Savor the mouthwatering combination of tender, sticky date-glazed chicken thighs paired with a smooth, creamy sweet potato mash spiced with hints of cinnamon and smoked paprika. This dish balances naturally sweet notes with savory spices to create a satisfying and energizing meal.
INGREDIENTS
130 grams Chicken Thigh (boneless, skinless)
100 grams Sweet Potato
48 grams Medjool Dates (about 2 dates)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
0.5 tsp Ground Cinnamon
0.5 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken thigh dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan, combine the Medjool dates (chopped), minced garlic, grated ginger, and a splash of water. Simmer over low heat until the dates soften, then mash or blend until a sticky glaze forms.
Coat the chicken thigh with a portion of the sticky date glaze, reserving some for finishing later. Place the chicken on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until cooked through and lightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, peel and cube the sweet potato. Boil until tender, approximately 10-12 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
Add 1 tsp of olive oil, ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the sweet potato. Mash until creamy and smooth.
To serve, plate a generous portion of the creamy spiced sweet potato mash and place the sticky date-glazed chicken thigh on top or alongside. Drizzle with any remaining glaze for an extra burst of flavor.
