Equipment

  • 1 Skillet non-stick
  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Mixing Bowl medium

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp fresh sage chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup pecans or walnuts chopped
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and sage. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drizzle with honey and continue to cook until the honey caramelizes, about 2 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.

Serving

  • Divide the roasted sweet potatoes among bowls. Slice the honey sage chicken and place on top. Garnish with your choice of nuts and cheese.

Storage

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave before serving.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use fresh sage for maximum flavor impact. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding honey to achieve a caramelized glaze.
Ingredient Substitutions: You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier result. Substitute maple syrup for honey if preferred.
How to Serve: For a colorful presentation, serve with a side of mixed greens drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette.
Storage & Freshness: Keep the chicken and sweet potatoes in separate containers to maintain texture.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the sweet potatoes in advance and store in the fridge. Reheat before assembling bowls.
