Preparation and Marination
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Roasting
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Roast the sweet potatoes for about 15 minutes until they start to soften.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently push the sweet potatoes to one side.
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on the empty side of the baking sheet, ensuring enough space for even cooking.
- Arrange the green beans around the chicken and on the sweet potato side.
- Drizzle any remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the sweet potatoes are fully tender.
