Notes

  • If using boneless chicken thighs or breasts, reduce cooking time by 5–8 minutes and check internal temperature early.
  • For extra crispy skin, broil for the last 2–3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Make sure sweet potatoes are cut into evenly sized cubes for consistent roasting.
  • If vegetables begin browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil during the final 10 minutes.
  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken with olive oil, garlic, and herbs for up to 4 hours before roasting.
