Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (6 ounces each) in a large oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 medium peeled sweet potatoes cut into 1/2-inch cubes to the skillet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss to coat all ingredients.
  3. Step 3: Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and sweet potatoes are tender and golden.
