Baked Chicken with Brussels and Sweet Potato

This one-pot chicken dish is perfect for the cooler weather. I make this dish all the time because it’s so easy, so good and so simple to make. Made with just 5 ingredients not counting salt and pepper it’s also Whole30 and Paleo-friendly. Some other simple one-dish meals that you might want to try are Sheet Pan Balsamic-Herb Chicken and Vegetables and One Pan Roasted Potatoes, Sausage and Peppers.

This well-balanced meal gives you protein, vegetables, and carbs all in one dish. The sweet potatoes are a healthy carb with more fiber than regular potatoes and are slightly lower on the glycemic index. I love cooking this dish because it’s so simple. I sometimes even cut the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts earlier in the day. So, when it comes time to cook dinner, all I have to do is assemble and season the ingredients on the pan. I just pop it in the oven and go on with my busy evening. I keep the skin on the chicken to let the fat from the skin drip onto the vegetables, which gives them so much flavor. The skin gets crisp and delicious, but of course, you can discard it after baking if you prefer not to eat it. But, you definitely want to leave the skin on the when you cook this one.

Variations and Tips:

You can switch out the sweet potatoes with butternut squash, baby red potatoes or another healthy autumn vegetable. Swap the chicken thighs for any bone-in, skin-on chicken parts.
