Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 apples, cored and wedged
  • 1 red onion, wedged
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan.
  2. Toss sweet potatoes and onion with 1 tbsp oil, half the thyme, salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken and apple wedges, coated with the remaining oil and thyme. Spread into one layer.
  4. Roast another 20–25 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the sweet potatoes are tender. Rest for 5 minutes.

Notes

Use two pans if the vegetables overlap. Crowding traps steam instead of browning the edges.
