Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels to encourage crispy skin. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, chopped rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to create the glaze.
3
In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
4
Arrange the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the other half of the baking sheet. Brush each chicken thigh generously with the maple-rosemary glaze.
5
Roast for 20 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip the sweet potatoes, and baste the chicken with any pan juices or additional glaze. If desired, pour 1/4 cup chicken broth around the sweet potatoes for extra moisture and flavor.
6
Return to the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead?

Yes, you can, but adjust cooking time. Chicken breasts cook faster, typically 20-30 minutes total. Keep an eye on them to prevent drying out and ensure they reach 165°F (74°C).

What other vegetables can I add to this sheet pan meal?

Broccoli florets, Brussels sprouts, or chunks of carrots would also roast beautifully alongside the chicken and sweet potatoes. Add them at the same time as the sweet potatoes.

How can I ensure the chicken skin gets crispy?

Patting the chicken skin very dry before seasoning and placing it skin-side up will help. For extra crispiness, you can broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
