Serves Four
500g sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2cm chunks
2 red onions, cut into wedges
350g broccoli, broken into florets
8 garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
1½ tbsp. olive oil
6 skinless chicken thigh fillets, each cut in half
2 lemons, 1 juiced and 1 cut into wedges to serve
1 tsp smoked paprika
150ml chicken stock
Method
1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Add the sweet potatoes, onions, broccoli and garlic to a large roasting tray and sprinkle over the dried herbs. Season and drizzle over 1 tbsp. of the oil, then toss everything together. Spread the veg out in an even layer and roast for 15 mins.
2. Remove the tray from the oven and give the veg a good mix. Add the chicken pieces and drizzle with the remaining ½ tbsp. oil. Squeeze over the lemon juice and sprinkle with the paprika. Return to the oven for 15 mins.
3. Pour over most of the chicken stock, then roast for a final 15-20 mins (topping up with a little more stock if it starts to look too dry) until the chicken is cooked through and the veg is completely tender. Squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins and serve with lemon wedges.

This recipe uses sweet potatoes which are an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene). They are also a very good source of vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6. Additionally, they are a good source of potassium, dietary fibre, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and phosphorus.
However, the carbohydrate content in sweet potatoes, (and white potatoes), will result in a blood sugar impact in any serving size and many diabetics choose not to eat them. However, sweet potatoes are naturally more nutrient-dense; so if you do choose to eat them they could be the better option between the two!

Looks yummy, Jan. I would have to substitute the size for breasts because I'm not a fan of dark me even though it's probably juicy! Hope you are having a good evening.
Looks tasty and colourful.

Looks delicious
Tray bakes are always good.
Quick, simple and tasty - what could be better?
Tray bakes like this are always easy and very tasty. We haven't tried one for a while. Thanx for the suggestion, Jan. God bless.
Excellent dish and no doubt very yummy! Thanks Jan and all the best :)
I love vegetables dishes like this one. Thank you for sharing.
No está nada mal la receta. Lo mejor será probarla.

That does look delicious, Jan.
This looks amazing and sounds delicious, Jan. We will be giving it a try. I had never thought of using stock, but it certainly makes sense. Thank you for the recipe!
Looks healthy :-D I have issues with red onions so avoid them. Fine with white onions though.
I would like this meal, looks and sounds yummy.
Take care, have a great day!
Yummy !!!
I made something like this for donner just the other night. It was good. One tray meals are the best for an easy night.
Ohhh this is going in my recipe box. I will make this for sure. Thank you .
Uma bela receita.
Adorei.
Jan, I have done many sheet pan recipes similar or just like this one and they are great because they are healthful, colorful, delicious and MOST of all, easy!
This looks delicious and could be varied a lot by simply using different herbs and spices--perfect!
So delicious. I love meals like this!!
This looks very tasty. I wonder if you could tray bake on the grill?
I have seen these tray bakes before but haven't tried them yet, looks really good

Hello Erika
I haven't tried it but using a baking sheet as a griddle is possible, but not all baking trays suit this purpose. Baking sheets with non-stick coatings should be avoided as this coating will not withstand the high heat needed for stove-top cooking …
There are quite a few sites on the 'internet' that give more details, just put the question into the search engine and have a look at the many articles for hints and tips.
All the best Jan
Hello Jan,
That looks fantastic. Hmmm...very tasty.
That must be delicious with a good glass of wine.
Many greetings,
Marco
Looks like a winner.
Looks a really easy recipe. We eat a lot of chicken in this 'small corner' so another alternative recipe is always welcome. Thank you.
