How to Make Southern Chicken Breasts With Sweet Potatoes
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) with salt and pepper.
- Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Arrange chicken breasts in a 13x9 inch baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1/4 cup honey, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Pour the milk mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Peel and cube 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 lb). Toss with 1/4 cup raisins and 1 tablespoon olive oil, then arrange around the chicken in the baking dish.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the reserved milk mixture over the chicken and sweet potatoes.
- Return to oven and bake for another 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender. Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
