Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Whisk together 1/4 cup GT's Kombucha, 2 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a bowl.
  2. Step 2: Pat 4 chicken thighs dry, place in a baking dish, and brush with half the glaze. Bake for 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Toss 2 cups diced sweet potatoes and 2 cups broccoli florets with 2 tbsp avocado oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp dried thyme. Spread on a separate baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
  4. Step 4: After 15 minutes, flip chicken and brush with remaining glaze. Add roasted vegetables to the baking dish with chicken. Bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally and vegetables are tender. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley before serving.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Kombucha-Glazed Chicken with Sweet Potato and Broccoli take to make?

Total time is about 55 minutes (20 min prep + 35 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.

How do I store leftover Kombucha-Glazed Chicken with Sweet Potato and Broccoli?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep chicken thighs from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Kombucha-Glazed Chicken with Sweet Potato and Broccoli?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Kombucha-Glazed Chicken with Sweet Potato and Broccoli for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

What goes well with Kombucha-Glazed Chicken with Sweet Potato and Broccoli?

American whole30 like this pair well with a compliant starch (roasted sweet potato, cauliflower rice, or plantains), a crisp salad dressed with olive oil and lemon, and sliced fruit. Skip grains, legumes, dairy and added sugar — none of them are Whole30-compliant. Tap "Plan a meal with the AI" to get specific side suggestions.
