Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, honey, and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Nestle the chicken thighs into the sweet potatoes, ensuring the skin side is facing up.
Tuck the rosemary sprigs between the chicken and sweet potatoes for added aroma and flavor.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the sweet potatoes are tender.
If desired, broil the dish for 2-3 minutes at the end to crisp up the chicken skin.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the rosemary chicken and sweet potatoes hot, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.
