Fewer dishes are always a win for me. I love simple recipes that take little work. This One Pan Chicken and Sweet Potato Bake have been a favorite of mine for years. Just toss it all onto a baking sheet and season. Once it's baked it's time to serve. You can serve this for dinner or it also makes the perfect meal prep dish. Bake it and then pack it up for 4 or 5 separate meals. I usually serve it with a salad or some roasted Brussel sprouts.
Prepping One Pan Chicken and Sweet Potato Bake:
Step one: Preheat oven and then prepare your baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Step two: Pound your chicken so each breast is closer to the same thickness. This will help will even cooking.
How to Pound Chicken:
To pound a boneless and skinless breast place it into a large freezer bag. Use a rolling pin or something similar to pound chicken until flatten.
Step three: Next place your chicken on your prepared baking sheet. Peel and slice sweet potatoes and place them on your baking sheet with your chicken.
Step four: In a small mixing bowl mix together olive oil with the seasoning. Drizzle this over chicken and sweet potatoes. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
Baking Chicken and Sweet Potatoes:
Bake your chicken at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes. If you have a larger chicken breast you might need to add some time. Check the temperature before serving.
