Sheet Pan Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Chicken
This sheet pan recipe combines diced sweet potatoes, tender chicken breast pieces, and red onion chunks roasted with olive oil, coriander, salt, and black pepper. The roasting process develops caramelized edges on the sweet potatoes and soft-tender chicken, offering a balanced combination of savory and sweet flavors. Cooking in two steps ensures the potatoes start roasting before the chicken is added, leading to evenly cooked ingredients ready to serve straight from the oven.

Ingredients
- 2 sweet potato peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces, medium/large
- 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste, freshly ground
- 1.25 to 1.50 pounds chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces, boneless skinless
- 1 red onion peeled and cut into chunks or wedges, medium/large
- 1 teaspoon Coriander or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- Add the sweet potatoes, evenly drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, evenly season with salt and pepper, toss with your hands to coat evenly, and bake for 15 minutes. While the potatoes bake, prep the chicken and onion.
- After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip the sweet potatoes, and add the chicken and red onion.
- Evenly drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with coriander, and bake for about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the chicken, size of potatoes, and being that this is quite a hot oven, check early and often so you don’t overcook the chicken or burn the potatoes.
- Serve immediately.
