[donotprint]Chicken recipes are one of the most widely searched on the web, particularly at 4pm according to recipe site Allrecipes.com. In the late afternoon nearly 10% of their recipe searches are for chicken, compared to about 6 percent the rest of the day. So even though this is our fourth chicken post recently,  I thought another recipe may be welcome.

Since I’ve been reviewing the plethora of recipes I read in magazines, here’s another favorite. Roast Chicken and Sweet Potatoes from the September issue of Eating Well Magazine bakes in just 35 minutes, with less than 15 minutes prep. I made it a one-pan meal by adding green beans half-way through the bake time.  I’d just received beautiful beans in my weekly CSA box, but broccoli or bell peppers could be added for extra veggies.  I loved how the red onion caramelized with the sweet potatoes, and the mustard-thyme coating on the chicken was super flavorful. Just mustard, thyme, olive oil and S&P, it couldn’t be easier.  I used jewel yams which are actually sweet potatoes but labeled as yams.  (Yams are a quite different starchy tubor  native to Africa and Asia.) If you use sweet potatoes, expect them to be a soft yellow-white, drier and not usually as sweet as yams.

Roast Chicken & Sweet Potatoes

•2 tablespoons whole-grain or Dijon mustard
•2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried
•2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
•1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
•1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
•1 1/2-2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
•2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
•1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges

Preparation
1.Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
2.Combine mustard, thyme, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl; spread the mixture evenly on chicken.
3.Toss sweet potatoes and onion in a bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the vegetables on it. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables.
4.Return the pan to the oven and roast, stirring the vegetables once halfway through, (add green beans or other vegetables at this point)until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh registers 165°F, 30 to 35 minutes.

Such abundance in my weekly CSA! If you need some Such abundance in my weekly CSA!  If you need some oomph in your meal planning, I recommend a Community Supported Agriculture box (CSA). Here’s what I see in this box:
•pan roasted cauliflower (see my previous post)
•carrot top pesto pasta 
•stir fry with carrots, bok choy and spring onions
•very fresh lettuce salads with roasted chioggia beets
• something with collard greens—help me out with a collards recipe please! 

Look for CSA’s in your area and I bet your menus will get a re-fresh with super fresh produce!

Do your recipes turn out just like the photos? Do Do your recipes turn out just like the photos? Do you care or wonder what the developer did different? Or do you think it was fancy food styling and photography? There’s lots of reasons —like different pans, ingredients vary, your whipped eggs may turn out a little different than mine because they are fresher, older, different hens.... and on and on. I hope you don’t get discouraged when images aren’t the same as your results, and you can see by mine, even when it IS my recipe there are variations. The cake on the plate is gluten free, and didn’t bake as golden as the flour version. (And my oven is currrently on the fritz, believe it or not! 😂)

Sure happy to have this recipe in my repertoire. P Sure happy to have this recipe in my repertoire. Perfect after a day of baking, biking, gardening, and escaping into a good book on the sofa by the fire.  Recipe inspired by  @cheflauriegauguin. We spice it up with a smear of hoisin sauce on a Trader Joe’s Carb Savvy whole wheat tortilla to wrap it all up.
(If you want to know, the book I’m reading is The Knitting Circle by @annhood56)
