This Sheet Pan Chicken and Sweet Potatoes is the perfect all-in-one dinner when you want something quick and hearty. Juicy chicken spiced with Thai red curry paste and nestled around roasted sweet potatoes and topped with crispy, spicy kale. It’s delightful, healthy and not a lot of work. Serve family-style, straight from the pan.
This chicken dish is easy to put together. While the oven preheats, toss the sweet potato wedges and red onion slices with minced garlic and ginger, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt on a large sheet pan. Then, prepare the marinade. Top the veggies with chicken pieces and drizzle them with half the marinade. Rub the chicken with the marinade. Roast at a high temperature until the meat is tender and the skin is crisp. Towards the end of cooking, toss the kale leaves with the remaining marinade and nestle the leaves among the chicken. Finally, roast for another five minutes or so, until the kale leaves are crispy and slightly charred. Serve right away!
To make the Sheet Pan Chicken and Sweet Potatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
To a large, rimmed sheet pan, add 2 sliced sweet potatoes, 1 sliced red onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and ½ teaspoon salt. Toss with your hands to coat well and arrange in an even layer.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons Thai red curry paste, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and ½ teaspoon salt until well combined.
Add the chicken pieces in an even layer on top of the vegetables. Drizzle the chicken with half the red curry marinade. Use your hands to rub the marinade all over the chicken. Roast for 25-30 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken pieces) or until the skin is starting to brown.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the chopped kale leaves with the remaining red curry marinade until well coated.
Carefully remove the chicken from the oven and nestle the marinated kale among the chicken.
Return the chicken to the oven and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until the kale is wilted and the top leaves are starting to crisp.
Serve right away!
