Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, mix the sweet potato cubes with 0.5 tbsp of olive oil, a pinch of salt and oregano. Spread them out on the baking tray and bake for 10–12 minutes, since the potato needs more time than the meat.
3
Meanwhile, in the same bowl prepare the glaze: mix the remaining olive oil, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, sweet paprika and pepper.
4
Add the sliced chicken and asparagus to the bowl with the seasoning. Mix well so the glaze coats all the ingredients evenly.
5
Take the tray out of the oven. Push the sweet potato to one side, and add the marinated chicken and asparagus to the other side.
6
Bake everything together for another 12–15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potato is tender. For a crispier crust, you can turn on the grill function for the last 2 minutes.
7
Before serving, sprinkle the dish with fresh lemon zest for extra freshness.

Nutritional benefits

Thanks to the high content of beta-carotene (the orange pigment) from the sweet potato and lean protein, this meal helps maintain healthy skin and supports muscle growth.
