chicken sweet potato recipe With Paprika Roasted Medallions
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 4–6 servings 1x
- Diet: General (Healthy)
Description
This effortless chicken sweet potato recipe with paprika roasted medallions is a simple, delicious fix for fast, comforting, yet healthy family meals. Its warm, smoky aroma fills the kitchen, promising golden-brown potatoes and perfectly juicy chicken.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs (680g) chicken breast or thighs, boneless, skinless
- 2 medium (1.5 lbs / 680g) sweet potatoes
- 3 Tbsp (45ml) olive oil
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1–2 Tbsp chicken broth (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Cut 0.5-inch chicken medallions and 1-inch sweet potato cubes for even roasting. In separate bowls, toss sweet potatoes with 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp paprika, 0.5 tsp salt, 0.25 tsp pepper. Season chicken similarly in its own bowl.
- Roast Dish: Spread seasoned chicken and sweet potatoes in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Roast at 400F (200C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. Cook until chicken is 165F (74C) and potatoes are tender with golden-brown edges. If chicken or potatoes look dry, splash in 1-2 Tbsp chicken broth.
Notes
Opt for organic or free-range chicken. Choose colorful sweet potato varieties for extra nutrients. Use a blend of sweet and smoked paprika for balance and deeper flavor, or add low-sodium spices and fresh herbs. For a keto-friendly meal, swap sweet potatoes for cauliflower or zucchini. For vegan, use plant-based chicken alternatives. For gluten-free, check spice blends for hidden gluten. Frozen sweet potato cubes are a convenient time-saver; just thaw and pat dry. Adjust flavors with cayenne for kick, fresh rosemary or thyme for herbs, or lemon juice at the end for brightness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
