Ingredients

  • 1.25 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed (about 1 lb)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional:

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut chicken thighs into 2-inch chunks and season with salt and pepper. Cube sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces for even roasting.
  • In small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until honey dissolves. Set glaze aside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in single layer and sear 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  • In same skillet, add remaining oil and cubed sweet potatoes. Toss to coat and roast in oven 12 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • Remove skillet and add chicken back with sweet potatoes. Pour honey garlic glaze over everything and toss. Return to oven 10 to 12 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and sweet potatoes are fork tender.
  • Remove and let rest 3 minutes. Sauce will thicken as it cools. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and cilantro. Serve from skillet or portion into bowls.

Notes

  • Storage: Keeps 4 days refrigerated. Flavors deepen overnight. Reheat gently.
  • Meal Prep: Portion into containers with extra vegetables for complete meals.
  • Substitutions: Chicken breast works (reduce time). Coconut aminos for soy-free.
  • Protein Boost: Add fried egg on top for 48g+ total protein.
