Instructions

1

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Strip the thyme from the sprigs and roughly chop the leaves (you’ll want about 1 teaspoon). Place the sweet potato cubes in the pot of water, bring to a boil, and cook for 10-15 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain and return to the same pot.

2

Toss the broccoli on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place in the oven for about 15 minutes, until slightly crispy.

3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium- high heat. Season the chicken on all sides with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned but not yet cooked through. Transfer to the baking sheet in the oven to finish cooking for 5 minutes. Once removed from the oven, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

4

Add the thyme and a splash of water to the pan over medium heat. Scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the stock concentrate and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened and reduced by half. Remove the pan from the heat, then stir in the sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

5

Mash the sweet potatoes: Mash the sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Stir in 2 Tablespoons butter and season to taste with salt and pepper. Reheat over medium heat, if necessary.

6

Serve: Thinly slice the pan-seared chicken and serve alongside the roasted broccoli and mashed sweet potato. Drizzle the creamy thyme sauce over top and enjoy!
