Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red onion sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

Optional Garnish

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear chicken skin-side down for 5–6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from skillet.

- Return chicken to the skillet, nestling it on top of the veggies. Squeeze lemon juice over the top.

- Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Customize with additional veggies like zucchini or bell peppers. For a spicy version, add chili flakes. For a vegetarian swap, try tofu or chickpeas with the same seasonings.
