Equipment

  • 1 18x13 sheet pan

Ingredients

  • 8 chicken thighs (boneless, skiness)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes

Honey Garlic Marinade

  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp ground rosemary

Honey Topping

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1 tsp ground rosemary (or herb of choice)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Line an 18x13 inch sheet pan with foil.
  • Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1 inch cubes. Remove chicken from packaging and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place sweet potatoes, and chicken thighs on sheet pan.
  • Mix together marinade (dijon/honey/olive oil/garlic/salt/pepper/rosemary) and drizzle over chicken and sweet potatoes. Toss to combine until fully coated.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer in the chicken reads 165 degrees fahrenheit.
    *Halfway through baking, you can drain some of the juices if desired. We do recommend this, though it is not required.
  • While chicken cooks, mix together secondary topping (honey/salt/pepper/garlic/rosemary) mixture in a clean dish. Set aside.
  • Remove fully cooked chicken & sweet potatoes from oven, and change oven to broil on low.
  • Brush cooked chicken with honey topping mixture and place back in oven allowing to broil for 2-3 minutes, or until chicken is caramelized and bubbly.
    *The sweet potatoes will brown even further as they broil. This creates more roasted flavor.
  • Remove from oven, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
