1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 skinless, bone-in chicken thighs (about 1 pound)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to season chicken
Freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup canned chopped tomatoes

2 thick sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), halved lengthwise and sliced into 3/4-inch half-moons
