**Sorry for the lack of posting – things are much different in our house. My kids and I just finished our third week of homeschooling, so I have had to put the blog on the back burner 🙂 I will post when I can! Thanks for stopping by :)**
Quick Post: One of my favorite combinations is chicken and sweet potato – I practically live off of this pairing! This is one of the most simple and cheap dinners I have tried since I changed my eating habits, and it’s just so good. I love how crispy the skin becomes and I eat it unashamedly! 😉 Before I put the skillet in the oven, I browned up the skin in the pan on my stove – that’s optional, but I recommend it! Thanks for reading, enjoy!
Maple Roasted Chicken and Sweet Potatoes – adapted from Honey, Ghee and Me
- 2-4 chicken pieces (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 tbsp maple syrup (the real stuff- makes a huge difference)
- 8 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Directions –
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Begin by peeling sweet potatoes and chop them into one inch chunks. Chop the onions into a similar size and arrange the vegetables in the bottom of a baking dish. Pour in olive oil and maple syrup and season the chicken with salt and pepper. Toss to coat in the oil and maple syrup, and leave all the chicken and vegetables in one even layer. Top with thyme sprigs and bake for 1 hour uncovered, turning the chicken half way through cooking time.
