Instructions

  1. Step 1: Toss 2 diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp dried rosemary in a bowl, spreading in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes until golden and crisp on edges, flipping halfway through.
  3. Step 3: Season 4 chicken thighs with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and remaining 1/2 tsp dried rosemary.
  4. Step 4: Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then sear chicken for 4 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Step 5: Transfer chicken to a plate, cover with foil, and add 1/4 cup coconut water to the skillet with pan drippings. Simmer for 2 minutes to create a light sauce, then pour over chicken.
  6. Step 6: Serve roasted sweet potatoes topped with chicken, drizzled with pan sauce, and garnished with 2 tbsp chopped parsley.
