Instructions
Prep Ingredients
- I dice 1 lb sweet potatoes into uniform cubes and trim 1 lb green beans. I mince 4 garlic cloves for this simple recipe, setting the stage for vibrant flavors.
Marinate Chicken

Cook Chicken
- In a skillet over medium heat, I heat 1 tbsp olive oil, sear marinated chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until golden and 165°F (75°C) internally, then rest for this easy weeknight meal.
Steam Green Beans
- In the same skillet, I add green beans with a splash of water, cover, and steam for 5 minutes until crisp-tender for this simple recipe.
Assemble Dish
- I slice chicken and arrange with roasted sweet potatoes and green beans, drizzling with skillet sauce for this Honey Garlic Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey garlic sauce for 1-2 hours before baking.
- You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs if preferred, but adjust cooking time as needed.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for more variety.
