Instructions
 

Chicken Thighs Preparation

  • Place Chicken Thighs in a mixing bowl. Season with Salt, Pepper, Garlic Herb Seasoning, Cumin, Onion & Garlic Powder and toss Chicken until coated with seasonings.
  • Set aside for 15-20 minutes or so to let flavors marinate into the Chicken. The longer the marinating time, the better the flavor.

Sweet Potatoes

  • In a separate bowl, add Sweet Potato slices, Brown Sugar, Apricot Preserves, pinch of Salt & Pepper to taste, Cayenne (Optional) and toss to coat Sweet Potatoes with ingredients.
  • Spray small baking dish with nonstick spray and line Sweet Potatoes in overlapping formation for presentation being sure to add any leftover goodness in your bowl right over top.
  • Bake in over at 350°F for 30 - 40 minutes or until fork tender.

Multitask

  • While Sweet Potatoes are baking, drizzle a large Skillet with Olive Oil and heat up Skillet on medium just until oil is hot enough to begin searing the Chicken. Place Chicken Thighs skin side down and cook 5-6 minutes then turn over and continue to cook another 5-6 minutes. Skin should be crispy and Chicken should be firm to touch. Cooking time will vary based on the size and thickness of your Chicken.
  • Internal Chicken temperature should be 165°F when completely cooked through.

Roasted Broccoli

  • Place Broccoli Florets in a bowl. Drizzle Olive Oil over it. Add a pinch of Salt, Pepper & Red Pepper Flakes and toss around being sure seasonings are evenly dispersed.
  • Place on nonstick baking sheet and roast at 350°F for 15 minutes or so until golden brown around edges but still maintains some firmness. This can be done at the same time at Sweet Potatoes.. life of a multitasker always works for me.
  • Plate your dishes and enjoy this simple but delicious meal.
