This healthy recipe for Roasted Chicken and Yams is so hearty, you’d never guess it serves up only about 350 calories.
Makes 8 servings
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 60 minutes
Ingredients
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 large peeled yams, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8–10 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients (through garlic).
2. Place the yam slices evenly on the bottom of a 9- x 13-inch casserole dish. Lay the chicken breasts flat over the yams and pour broth mixture over the chicken. If necessary, add just enough water to completely cover the chicken. Place on the middle rack of preheated oven and bake for 1 hour.

I this recipe is realy going to taste .If you have a chance email me back.Im 10 going on 11.
Why does this recipe need one-half cup of olive oil?
I think I will make it with one-fourth cup olive oil.
This should lower the calories and fat.
looks great, but can it be configured for one or two people, not 8?
What ever happened to real food? I was expecting a recipe for a whole roasted chicken with yams beside it! YEH
How about a printer friendly button. The info. on the sides has nothing to do with the receipe and I end up with very small print and usless info. to cut off. Dibar
My turn to cook. I think I will do this on the grill to keep the heat out. And I agree with Diane, please make the recipe printer friendly. Save paper, ink, time. GO GREEN!
I agree you need a printer friendly button. My recipe print size is too small for me to read the way it is now!!!
just copy paste the recipe into word and then print it
why so much oil the chicken and the sweet pots will be so greasy.
Shouldn’t this be covered when baking? I don’t see how the potatoes would be tender uncovered. Please specify. I agree, too much oil.
