Chicken And Sweet Potato

Recipe Directions

1. For best results, take the chicken out of the refrigerator when you start to cook so you can temper the meat while the sweet potato fries cook. If you skip this step, you may need to cook the chicken longer than this recipe card indicates. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit.
2. Lay out the sweet potato batons (a) on a baking tray lined with foil. Drizzle 1 tsp of olive oil (for every serving you are preparing) over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat all of the pieces with oil. Sprinkle a generous pinch of salt and pepper over the sweet potatoes. Put the tray in your 325 degree oven and bake for 20 minutes.
3. When the sweet potatoes have been in the oven for 10 minutes, turn your oven up to 425 degrees (but keep the sweet potatoes in the oven). Cut open the package of chicken (b) and place on a plate. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. When the pan has warmed up, add 1 tbsp of oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Place the chicken in the pan and sear for 2 minutes, then flip over using tongs, and sear the other side for 2 minutes. After searing, place the skillet of chicken in your 425 degree oven and bake for 7 minutes.
4. When you place the skillet of chicken in the oven, turn the tray of sweet potatoes 180 degrees to the right. While the chicken and sweet potatoes are in the oven, add the arugula (c), beets (d) and marinated feta (e) to a mixing bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour 1/2 of the roasted garlic sauce (f) into the bowl. Mix well with tongs to incorporate all of the ingredients together.
5. When the chicken has baked for 7 minutes, pull it out and let it rest on a cutting board for 2 minutes. Around this time, the sweet potato fries should be done. Pull the tray out from the oven and place on your stovetop.
6. Spoon the beet & feta salad on to one side of your serving plates. Pour the remaining roasted garlic sauce on the other side of the serving plates. Use the back of a spoon to spread the sauce out in a circle. Slice the chicken into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place the sweet potato fries and chicken on top of the sauce.
