Sweet Potatoes with Broccoli and Chicken
15 mins prepServes 4
This is a sheet pan meal unlike any other. The result is a complete meal in a stuffed sweet potato - broccoli for color, seasoned chicken for flavor, melty cheese (and some optional hot sauce or hot honey) for fun!
0 Preheat the oven to 400°F.
1 Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sweet potato halves on the baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt on both sides. Turn the potatoes cut side facing down.
2 Toss the broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon oil and ½ teaspoon salt. Scatter the broccoli around the sweet potatoes. Bake in the oven until the sweet potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork and the broccoli is tender, 20 to 30 minutes. If the broccoli starts to brown before the potatoes are done cooking, remove it from the pan.
3 While the potatoes roast, combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon oil, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and thyme.
4 Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and turn them over so the cut side is facing up. Use a fork to mash the sweet potatoes a bit and then top them with the broccoli, chicken, and cheese.
5 Turn on the oven’s broiler and broil the sweet potatoes until the chicken is crispy on top and the cheese is melted. Top with hot sauce or hot honey if you'd like!
