SPICY SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES AND KALE



Spicy Sheet-Pan Chicken With Sweet Potatoes and Kale image

These sheet-pan chicken thighs gain gorgeous color from a harissa-yogurt marinade, which also keeps the meat juicy during the roasting process. The thighs only need 15 minutes in the marinade, but you can leave them for up to 24 hours in the fridge. For weeknights, heat the oven, place the chicken in the marinade, then wash and cut the sweet potato and kale, so the prep work is done and the oven hot by the time the chicken is done marinating. Make the herb oil while the chicken roasts so it has time to sit. While it's meant for the vegetables, it's also wonderful drizzled on top of the chicken.

Time 1h

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon harissa
1/4 cup full-fat Greek or Skyr yogurt
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium sweet potato, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
1 bunch lacinato or curly kale, stemmed and cut or torn into 1-inch ribbons
1 small red onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch wedges
3 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley or cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
1 lime, zested and juiced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a large shallow mixing bowl, combine the harissa and yogurt. Pat the chicken dry, then season all over with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the yogurt mixture, gently rubbing until fully coated, and set aside for 15 minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees and place a rack in the lower third and one 6 inches from the broiler. On a sheet pan, toss the sweet potato, kale and onion with 3 tablespoons oil. Season with cumin, salt and pepper, massaging the kale as you do so. Clear four spaces for the chicken pieces, then place them skin-side up on the pan. (It may look messy and crowded, but the kale will shrink down as it cooks.)
  • Roast on the lower rack, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway and rotating the tray, until the chicken skin is crispy and the juices run clear, the squash is tender and the kale is crispy. If the vegetables are done, but the chicken skin is not as crispy as you'd like, remove the vegetables from the sheet pan and place just the chicken under the broiler for another 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small serving bowl, combine the parsley, lime zest and half the lime juice with the remaining 1/4 cup oil and the red-pepper flakes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and additional lime juice. Serve the chicken and vegetables with the herb oil to drizzle over top.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES AND PEPPERS



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Sweet Potatoes and Peppers image

This sheet-pan supper brings velvety sweet potatoes together with soft bell peppers, pungent sage and roasted chicken thighs. To counter the rich and caramelized flavors, quick-pickled thinly sliced red onion adds a bright and zippy note right at the end. If you prefer chicken breasts, you can use them here instead of the thighs. Choose bone-in, skin-on breasts if possible, and keep an eye on them. They'll cook faster than the thighs. Remove them when they're ready, but let the vegetables roast until they thoroughly golden and tender.

Categories     weekday, one pot, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1 to 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (4 to 6 thighs)
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces sweet potato (1 large), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large red, yellow or orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
3/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small, shallow bowl, mix together vinegar and honey. Mix in half the red onion and a pinch of salt and set aside for garnish, tossing the mixture occasionally as the chicken cooks.
  • In a large bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon salt, garlic, coriander and black pepper. Add chicken to bowl and rub the mixture all over it. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together 2 tablespoons oil, sweet potato, pepper, remaining onion, sage, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, cayenne and allspice. Spread vegetables out on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to marinated chicken and turn to coat. Place chicken pieces, skin-side up, among the vegetables, making sure chicken is surrounded by them, but not on top of them. (Chicken should rest directly on the baking sheet.)
  • Roast for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and raise heat to 450 degrees. Use a wide spatula to flip vegetables over (but not chicken). Drizzle chicken (but not vegetables) with 2 teaspoons liquid from the onion-vinegar mixture. Roast until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes longer.
  • To serve, top chicken and vegetables with a spoonful of onion-vinegar mixture and plenty of cilantro leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts. Dark meat, like thighs, stays moist and tender during cooking.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. Some good options include broccoli, zucchini, carrots, and bell peppers.
  • Season the chicken and vegetables well: Use a flavorful blend of spices and herbs to enhance the taste of the chicken and vegetables. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there's enough space between the chicken and vegetables so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken and vegetables will steam instead of roasting.
  • Roast at a high temperature: This will help the chicken and vegetables get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Aim for a temperature of 425°F (220°C).
  • Serve with a flavorful sauce or dressing: This will add moisture and flavor to the chicken and vegetables. Some good options include a tahini sauce, a yogurt sauce, or a balsamic vinegar dressing.

Conclusion:

Spicy Sheet Pan Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Kale is a delicious and healthy meal that's easy to make. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual weekend lunch. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are roasted to perfection, and the kale adds a pop of color and nutrition. Serve it with a flavorful sauce or dressing to complete the meal.
