Ingredients

12 oz chicken breast, pounded to an even thickness
2 whole sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 cups green beans, trimmed
1 tbsp butter
¼ cup milk
1 ½ tbsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper

Method

1Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes.
2While the potatoes boil, season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, half the salt, and half the black pepper.
3Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
4In a separate small pot or a microwave-safe bowl, steam the green beans with a splash of water until bright green and tender-crisp.
5Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, and remaining salt and pepper. Mash until smooth.
6Slice the rested chicken and serve alongside the sweet potato mash and steamed green beans.
