Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1 lb), cubed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Toss until evenly coated.
- Chop the Sweet Potatoes: Peel (if desired) and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Combine on the Sheet Pan: Arrange seasoned chicken on one side of the baking sheet. Spread cubed sweet potatoes on the other side. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the sweet potatoes and season with additional salt and pepper.
- Roast Everything Together: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
- Serve It Up: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch.
