Ingredients:
• Chicken breast (1-2 pieces, boneless and skinless for convenience)
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (for a tangy flavor and moisture)
• 1 tsp Provence herbs (a fragrant blend of herbs that enhances the chicken)
• 1 tsp dry sage (adds an earthy depth to the dish)
• 1 tsp minced garlic (for an aromatic kick)
• Salt & pepper (to taste, essential for bringing out the flavors)
• Sweet potatoes (2 medium-sized, rich in vitamins and fiber)
• 2 tbsp goat butter (for a creamy, rich texture)
• Fresh sage leaves (for garnish and added flavor)
🥄 How to Make It:
1️⃣ Marinate the Chicken: Begin by preparing a marinade that combines the Greek yogurt, Provence herbs, dry sage, minced garlic, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. This mixture not only infuses the chicken with flavor but also helps to tenderize the meat. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly in this marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes; for optimal flavor, consider marinating them for a few hours or even overnight in the refrigerator.
2️⃣ Air Fry Sweet Potatoes: While the chicken is marinating, take the time to prepare the sweet potatoes. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook uniformly. Place the cubes in the air fryer and set the temperature to 180°C (350°F). Cook them until they are soft and tender, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, transfer them to a bowl and mash them together with the goat butter until smooth and creamy. The goat butter not only adds richness but also a unique flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the potatoes.
3️⃣ Cook the Chicken: After the sweet potatoes are done, it's time to cook the chicken. Preheat your air fryer and place the marinated chicken breasts inside. Air fry at the same temperature of 180°C for approximately 20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. To achieve a perfect finish, transfer the chicken to a hot skillet with a small amount of goat butter and fresh sage leaves. Sear the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side to develop a beautiful golden crust, which adds an irresistible texture to the dish.
4️⃣ Plate & Enjoy: Once everything is cooked, it’s time to plate your meal. Start by placing a generous portion of the creamy sweet potato mash on the plate and then lay the juicy, sage-infused chicken breast on top. For a final touch, garnish the dish with a few fresh sage leaves, which not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a burst of fresh flavor. This dish is not only visually stunning but also a comforting combination of flavors that will leave you feeling satisfied.
This dish is cozy, healthy, and packed with flavor, making it a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy a nutritious meal without spending hours in the kitchen. Save this recipe for your next meal idea, and treat yourself and your loved ones to a dinner that is both simple to prepare and absolutely delightful to eat!
