Cranberry Glazed Chicken with Carrots & Sweet Potatoes: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 16 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 2 cups carrots, peeled and sliced
– 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh rosemary or thyme for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Cranberry Glazed Chicken with Carrots & Sweet Potatoes can be straightforward if you stick to these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.

2. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the cranberry sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.

3. Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the cranberry glaze over the top, ensuring they are well coated.

4. Prepare the Vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss the sliced carrots and diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

5. Arrange in Pan: Scatter the vegetables around the chicken in the baking dish, ensuring even distribution for uniform cooking.

6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender.

7. Baste if Needed: Halfway through baking, baste the chicken with the glaze to keep it moist.

8. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven. If desired, sprinkle fresh rosemary or thyme on top for added flavor and presentation.

9. Let Rest: Allow the dish to sit for about 5 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to settle.

10. Plate: Serve a piece of chicken alongside a generous helping of carrots and sweet potatoes, drizzled with any remaining glaze.
