Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
2 medium fresh sweet potatoes (about 1 lb), peeled and cubed
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 cups fresh baby spinach
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sauce: 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread them on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 7-10 minutes).
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice. Pour over cooked chicken and let simmer until slightly thickened.
Add fresh spinach to the skillet during the last minute of cooking until wilted.
Once sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized (about 25 minutes), combine everything in serving bowls.
