Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 pounds chicken thighs skinless boneless cut into chunks
  • 2.5 cups sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • ¼ cup pickled jalapeño slices drained
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or freshly minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or regular paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder or cayenne adjust heat to taste
  • ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey or regular honey for less spice
  • Optional for serving: sliced avocado ripe and fresh cilantro (chopped)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly coat with oil.
  2. Place the chicken, sweet potatoes, and onion on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Toss everything gently to coat evenly, then arrange in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
  4. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Scatter the pickled jalapeños and crumbled feta over the top, then drizzle with hot honey. Broil for 2–4 minutes until lightly caramelized.
  5. Take the pan out of the oven and top with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
