Preheat oven, rack in center, to 200°C (400°F).
In a bowl, combine sweet potato cubes, shallots, potatoes, thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Place the vegetables on an ovenproof baking sheet lined with a silicone mat and bake for 30 minutes, just long enough for the vegetables to be cooked and lightly colored.
Meanwhile, in a hot frying pan, sear the chicken breasts in Mycryo butter or the fat of your choice for 2 minutes.
Add the onion and continue cooking for 1 minute.
Deglaze with the white wine, then add the garlic, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, stock and cream and simmer over a low heat for 15 minutes, turning the breasts halfway through cooking. Check the seasoning.
Serve with roasted vegetables.
