Notes

Tips For Success

  • Cut all of your potatoes, veggies, and chicken to similar-sized pieces for even cooking. 
  • Don’t skip pre-cooking the sweet potatoes, or they will not cook all the way through. 
  • Always check for doneness with a meat thermometer. 

Variations

  • Swap Potatoes - Use Yukon golds or red potatoes in place of the sweet potatoes.  You can even use a mix of potatoes. 
  • Swap Veggies - Try broccoli, cauliflower, or asparagus. 
  • Make it Spicy - If your family loves spicy food, look for spicy ranch seasoning or add a bit of crushed red pepper to the chicken mixture. Slice up a few jalapenos and add them as well. 

Budget-Friendly Tips 

  • Buy Chicken in Bulk - Look for sales on chicken or purchase it in bulk to get a better price. Freeze individual portions of chicken for later uses. 
  • Make Wraps -  Got leftovers? Try making these Chicken Bacon Ranch Wraps
  • Add More Potatoes and Veggies - If you need to stretch this recipe add additional potatoes and veggies.
  • Serve Over Rice - Need to stretch even further? Serve over rice. Rice is an inexpensive way to bulk up a meal.  

Make Ahead And Storage

Prep Ahead - All of the veggies and meat can be chopped in advance. Mix the chicken, veggies, oil, and seasonings and store in a bowl in the fridge for up to 12 hours in advance. 
Store - Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to three days. 
Freeze – Follow the handy tips below for how to freeze these;
  • Combine chicken, veggies, oil, and seasonings. 
  • Pour into a freezer bag and freeze for up to three months. 
  • Thaw overnight in the fridge. 
  • When ready to cook, prepare sweet potatoes as directed, then add the bag of chicken and veggies to the sheet pan.
