  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the chicken skin and roast the sweet potatoes evenly.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, smoked paprika, and a pinch of sea salt until evenly coated. Tip: Cutting the sweet potatoes into uniform sizes ensures they cook at the same rate.
  3. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Tip: Avoid moving the chicken too soon to get that perfect sear.
  4. Flip the chicken thighs and scatter the minced garlic around them, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Arrange the seasoned sweet potatoes around the chicken in the skillet, then sprinkle everything with chopped rosemary and black pepper.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sweet potatoes are tender. Tip: Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken’s temperature for perfect doneness every time.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Beautifully browned chicken thighs and caramelized sweet potatoes come together in this dish, offering a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. Serve it straight from the skillet for a rustic presentation, or plate it over a bed of greens for a lighter meal.
