Easy Chicken and Sweet Potato Dinner
I love sheet pan dinners because they’re easy, tasty, and ready in no time. This easy sheet pan recipe takes advantage of one of my favorite fall ingredients: sweet potatoes. But truthfully, I eat sweet potatoes year-round. I love them prepared in any way. The only downside to sweet potatoes is that if you leave them whole, it can take about an hour to roast them. But I don’t always have an hour on a busy weeknight, which is why I like to dice them into bite-sized pieces and then roast them. This little dicing trick cuts the cooking time by 50% which is a huge time saver. When I added the chicken, I also added red onions, and those big wedges nicely perfume and flavor the chicken and potatoes. Plus, I love the purple color against the orange sweet potatoes. You eat first with your eyes and I always try to make things as colorful and vibrant as possible! With minimal prep time, this sweet and savory sweet potato with chicken recipe is always a crowd-pleasing dish!
