Method

6 steps Oven 425°F 15 min prep · 30 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss Sweet Potato with half the Olive Oil, half the Salt, and half the Black Pepper. Spread on a large sheet pan.
Step 2. Roast the wedges until starting to brown underneath, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, line a second sheet pan with parchment.
Step 3. Mix Pecans and Panko with the rest of the Olive Oil in a shallow bowl. Stir Dijon Mustard and Honey together in another bowl.
Step 4. Season Chicken Breast with the rest of the Salt and Black Pepper. Brush with the honey mustard, then press the pecan mixture onto both sides. Place on the lined pan; discard any coating left in the bowls.

Cook

Step 5. Turn the wedges and add Green Beans to their pan. Put the chicken on a separate oven rack and roast both pans until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.

Finish & serve

Tips

Good to know

Swap it

For a nut-free crust, replace the pecans with finely chopped sunflower seeds.
