INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 Medjool Date
100 grams Sweet Potato
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and dice the sweet potato into cubes. Toss them with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the sweet potato in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they’re tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
While the potatoes roast, pat dry the chicken breast and season it lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small blender or bowl, combine the Medjool date (pitted) and garlic clove. Blend or mash thoroughly into a smooth glaze. If needed, add a teaspoon of warm water to achieve a spreadable consistency.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, then brush the chicken generously with the sticky date glaze. Allow the chicken to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve the glazed chicken alongside the creamy roasted sweet potatoes. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for an extra pop of flavor.
