Delicious honey pulled chicken with sweet potatoes

Try this delicious and tender honey pulled chicken with sweet potatoes - you will surely get to love it. Preparing this dish is really easy and you will certainly not make it only once. Chicken meat absorbs all the wonderful flavors of the honey-garlic marinade and the sweet taste of sweet potatoes will pleasantly unify the whole meal. It is healthy low-fat lunch, which satiates well and gives the body a ton of proteins, vitamins, and minerals.

Compared to other types of meat, chicken is easier to digest, contains little fat, and is full of protein. In addition, it is very easy to prepare - it often only takes a few minutes. However, if you want to enjoy meat full of flavors, I recommend marinating in the evening before and letting it stand in the fridge overnight. The chicken will be delicious even without it, but after a night spent with honey, garlic, and soy sauce, all these flavors will soak into the structure of the meat and each bite will be softer and more flavorful. Stewing the meat on a low flame for up to 2 hours will achieve a unique structure - the chicken meat will be completely tender and it will shred beautifully and melt on the tongue. However, if you don't have that much time, you can stew it for less than an hour.

This fit lunch is without flour, eggs, milk, and nuts - suitable for any food allergy sufferers. Sweet potatoes are loaded with minerals, vitamins, and especially fiber, thanks to which they are really filling and at the same time help proper digestion. Their taste is sweeter than ordinary potatoes, as their name suggests, which makes them perfect for this honey chicken.

You can serve the shredded honey chicken with sweet potatoes and also with your favorite salad. Bon appetite!
