    Our Sweet Potato and Pear Honey Chicken Recipe is an easy dinner recipe that's perfectly balanced with protein and veggies.

    So...I have been living alone for a total of about 3 weeks now and I am loving this Sweet Potato and Pear Honey Chicken Recipe. To be fair, for 10 of those days, I was traveling in Bucharest and Athens with Angeline. BUT, I realized something kinda funny while prepping dinner the other day...I am cooking a lot more now than I did when Angeline lived at home.

    Angeline was sort of a picky eater, so she was never really a big fan of some of the new recipes I tried. After years and years of hearing, "that's gross," or "that tastes weird," I just sort of lost interest in cooking altogether.

    I cooked when I needed to, and didn't experiment much, because I knew that I'd be the only one eating whatever it was I made.

    Now that Angeline is off on her own? I AM COOKING EVERY DAY. Take this Sweet Potato and Pear Honey Chicken Recipe for example; this is something that Angeline probably wouldn't have liked - save for the side of asparagus.

    I love chicken and cook it often as part of my low carb lifestyle - right now I have a whole chicken in the slow cooker with herbs and seasonings, drizzled with olive oil...and my house smells A M A Z I N G.

    Chicken is such a versatile meat, and you can eat it much more often and red meat or pork without worrying about your fat intake. Three cheers for chicken!

    Directions for making this Sweet Potato and Pear Honey Chicken Recipe

    Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet to medium high heat and add your olive oil, then add your chicken breasts. Cook until no longer pink - this will take between 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken breasts. Once they are cooked thoroughly, remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside. 

    You can keep the chicken breasts warm by wrapping in tin foil and placing a dish towel over it to trap in the heat. 

    In the same pan, (do not drain the juices) add your sweet potato, pear and the water. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pan. Simmer for about 5-8 minutes or until the pear and potato are tender.

    Stir in your honey, mustard and tarragon.

    Spoon this mixture over the chicken breasts. Serve with roasted asparagus or steamed broccoli!

      Jennifer... you and your recipes are exactly what most of the more "mature" readers need ( 84 years young). They are so easy to prepare and the recipes have the nutritional values all of us need. I'm so happy to have stumbled onto your recipes. God bless you and keep the recipes coming.

      Thank you so much for this kind feedback! I’m 45 and at this stage of life I just want something easy and GOOD! I’m slowly working through my old recipes and adding the nutritional info, but I’ve been blogging for 14 years now and it’s a lot of work! So please know that I’m working on adding that to ALL of the recipes! 🙂
