Southern Chicken Breasts w/Sweet Potatoes

Source of Recipe

by Millie, from 365 Ways to Cook Chicken


List of Ingredients

2 T vegetable oil
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 C evaporated milk
2 T honey
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1, 16oz can sweet potatoes in syrup drained, reserving 1/4 C syrup
1/4 C raisins


Recipe

Preheat oven to 350F

Brown chicken breasts in hot oil in skillet. Remove to plate.

Combine evaporated milk, honey, nutmeg and cloves.

Arrange chicken pieces in baking dish. Pour milk mix over top

Bake 10 minutes and remove from oven

Arrange sweet potatoes & raisins around the chicken pieces & pour 1/4 C reserved syrup over top

Return to oven and bake 40 minutes longer.

MY NOTES:
I don't keep canned sweet potatoes, so I made candied sweets without the marshmallow topping and set aside to cool.

Then I scooped out the sweet potatoes and arranged them around the chicken, saving all the syrup.

I soak my raisins before adding to a recipe; I also scattered some chopped walnuts about too.

Poured all the syrup over everything and returned to oven for another 40 minutes.
