- ΒΌ cup honey
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

Instructions
Cooking
- Heat the oven. Preheat to 400 degrees F and grease a baking dish.

- Arrange. Place the chicken in the center and scatter the sweet potato cubes around it.
- Coat. Pour the glaze over everything and toss the potatoes to coat.
- Bake. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, spooning sauce over the chicken halfway, until the potatoes are fork tender and the chicken is 165 degrees F.
- Rest. Rest the chicken 5 minutes, then spoon over the pan juices and add parsley.
Notes
Substitutions: Use maple syrup for honey and chicken thighs for breasts (add a few minutes).
Tips: Cut the cubes evenly and pound thick breasts for even cooking.
Storage: Refrigerate 3 to 4 days and reheat to 165 degrees F. Thaw frozen portions overnight.
