Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and cut 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, and 1/2 tsp salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and caramelized.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, season 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Step 3: Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add 3 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp Dijon mustard. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
  5. Step 5: Return chicken to the skillet and spoon the honey Dijon glaze over each piece, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to coat and warm through.
  6. Step 6: Serve the glazed chicken breasts alongside the roasted sweet potatoes, garnishing with extra thyme if desired.
