How to Make Chicken And Sweet Potato Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on both sides of 2 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Place the chicken in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Peel and chop 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Arrange the sweet potatoes around the chicken in the baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle any remaining spice mixture over the chicken and sweet potatoes.
  6. Zest and add the peel of 1 orange over the chicken and potatoes. Pour 1 cup of apple juice evenly over everything.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender. Internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
