But honestly, this is a complete meal on its own.
Make It Ahead
In my house, this recipe is a lifesaver for busy weeknights.
But the real beauty of this dish is how well it freezes.
Simply make the marinade in a zip-top bag, add the chicken thighs, and freeze it for later.
Its the kind of recipe thats perfect for planning ahead while still feeling delicious and effortless.
Place the chicken thighs in a zip-top bag or shallow dish.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Spread out the diced sweet potatoes on the baking sheet.
Discard the remaining marinade.
