How to make Golden Herb Chicken With Sweet Potato Hash

  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small, even cubes, then toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika and half the salt and pepper and spread them on the tray.
  2. Bake the sweet potatoes. Bake the sweet potatoes for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through so the edges crisp on all sides. Meanwhile, season the chicken breasts with rosemary, garlic, lemon juice and the remaining salt and pepper.
  3. Sear and roast the chicken. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Move it to the oven beside the sweet potatoes for 10 minutes, until fully cooked through.
  4. Wilt the spinach. In the same skillet, sauté the spinach with minced garlic for about 2 minutes until wilted, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Take the chicken and sweet potatoes out of the oven and rest them for a couple of minutes.
  5. Plate and serve. Arrange the sweet potato hash and sautéed spinach as a base, then slice the chicken and lay it on top. Serve warm, garnished with a rosemary sprig or a drizzle of olive oil if you like.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Golden Herb Chicken with Sweet Potato Hash take?
About 50 minutes: 15 minutes of prep and 35 minutes of cooking, with the chicken seared in a pan and finished in the oven beside the sweet potatoes.
Is Golden Herb Chicken with Sweet Potato Hash vegetarian?
No, it is not vegetarian. Chicken breasts seasoned with rosemary, garlic and lemon are seared and roasted, then served on sweet potato hash with spinach.
How do I get crispy edges on the sweet potato hash?
Dice it into small, even cubes, coat them with oil and paprika and spread them out on the tray. Stir halfway through so every side crisps.
Why sear the chicken before it goes in the oven?
Searing gives the outside a golden, flavourful crust, then the oven finishes the inside gently so the breast stays juicy.
Can I use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?
Yes, floury or waxy potatoes both work, but they may need a little longer in the oven. Keep the cubes small so they crisp up.
