Sweet Potatoes and Chicken Sheet Pan Recipe

This Sweet Potatoes and Chicken Sheet Pan Recipe is an easy meal prep recipe. Besides being delicious, it’s super easy thanks to being roasted all on one sheet pan!

How often is it that the clean up after dinner is what gets you all crazy and not cooking dinner itself? This describes me to a tee and that is why I love one pan or in this case, one sheet dinners. You get all the same flavors, but none of the mess.

This Sweet Potatoes and Chicken Sheet Pan Recipe is great for weekly meal prep. It is easy to store for lunches or to warm up when you need a quick dinner. It only takes 45 minutes and yes, one sheet pan. I love to serve this dish over a bed of fresh spinach or if you prefer, cooked spinach. Toss in the spinach the last five minutes of baking.

It is also perfect for fall with all the fall flavors.This recipe will make four servings and if you have a favorite vegetable, you can always add it. I often add red peppers.
