Sticky Date Glazed Chicken with Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Enjoy a savory and sweet twist on classic roasted chicken accompanied by tender, caramelized sweet potatoes. The chicken is glazed with a sticky date reduction that imparts a rich, slightly tangy flavor, while the roasted sweet potatoes add a comforting, natural sweetness to this balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (skinless)
1/2 cup diced Sweet Potato
1 Medjool Date
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the diced sweet potatoes in a bowl and toss with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the sweet potatoes for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the chicken. Season both sides of the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a small saucepan, combine the pitted Medjool date, apple cider vinegar, and a couple of teaspoons of water. Warm over low heat and stir until the date breaks down and forms a sticky glaze.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. In the final 2 minutes of cooking, brush the sticky date glaze over the chicken to allow it to caramelize slightly.
Serve the glazed chicken alongside the roasted sweet potatoes. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the chicken for extra flavor.
