Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone in skin on chicken thighs, about 2 pounds
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, about 2 pounds, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and position a rack in the center.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
- Lightly coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in an even layer in the dish. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Place chicken skin side up on top of the potatoes.
