Looking for a recipe that was new, healthy, and flavorful I came across a recipe for Chilpotle-Glazed Roast Chicken with Sweet Potatoes on fitnessmagazine.com. I adapted it slightly to make it my own and I must say it was pretty tasty, but watch out it is spicy so if you do not like spice you might not like this recipe.
Ingredients4 -10oz sweet potatoes (leave skin on and cut into 1" pieces)
1 medium onion cut into large chunks
2 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
2-4 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, minced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbs. splenda
2 tbs. honey
2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
Directions
1 medium onion cut into large chunks
2 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
2-4 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, minced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbs. splenda
2 tbs. honey
2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss sweet potatoes and onions in olive oil. Place in a foil lined baking dish that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Roast for 25 minutes.
In a medium bowl mix together chilies, garlic, honey, splenda, vinegar, salt, cumin, and cinnamon. This mixture should form a paste. Rub the paste evenly on each chicken breast. Place the chicken breasts on top of the potato mixture. Spoon any additional paste onto chicken breasts. Return to oven and roast the chicken for about another 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender, Remove from oven and serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
