Soy Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Onions

ROASTED CHICKEN PIECES WITH SWEET POTATOES AND GINGER-SOY GLAZE

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
4 tsp. grated, peeled fresh ginger (I use 1-1 1/2 tsp. ground ginger)
1 (4 lb)chicken, cut up into 8 pieces, skin removed from all but the wings  (I use chicken breast instead)
1 1/2 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks
1medum onion, cut into 8 wedges

1. Preheat oven to 450.
Spray 15 1/2 inch by 10 1/2 inch jellyroll pan with non-stick cooking spray
2. In  large bowl, stir together oil, honey, ginger and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Add chicken, sweet potatoes and onion and toss until coated.
3. Arrange chicken mixture in prepared pan. Roast 30 -35 minutes or until juices run clear when thickest part of chicken is pierced with tip of knife. Transfer chicken mixture to warm platter. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Serve with pan juices. Makes 4 main-dish servings. 
Tip: If chicken pieces are done before potatoes are cooked through, remove chicken to platter; cover with foil to keep warm, then continue cooking potatoes until tender.

Enjoy!  Much love, Linda  Kimble,  Gina's Mom
