Method

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Coat the sweet potato with 1 tablespoon of oil, spread it over a parchment-lined sheet and roast 25 minutes, until tender. Simmer the cranberries with the orange juice, sweetener and thyme for 8 minutes, until they burst and the pan is syrupy.
  2. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper, coat it in 1 tablespoon of the oil and roast in a 9x13-inch (23x33cm) roasting pan for 12 minutes, until opaque. Brush with the glaze, add the broccolini tossed in the remaining oil and roast 6 minutes more, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Toss the broccolini and sweet potato with the orange zest and serve with the chicken and any glaze from the pan.
Chef’s tipSlow it: Plenty of fiber sits alongside the glaze, and that is what slows it down.
KeepFridge 3 days, freezer 3 months. Keep the glaze in a jar.
