Instructions
Creating this Moroccan Spiced Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt, pepper, and half of the spice blend.
3. Chop the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, sliced bell peppers, red onion wedges, and minced garlic.
4. Season Vegetables: Drizzle the vegetable mixture with olive oil and the remaining half of the Moroccan spice blend. Toss until everything is well coated.
5. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the veggies.
6. Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sweet potatoes are tender.
7. Broil for Crispiness: For an extra crispy skin, switch the oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
8. Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
9. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley for an added burst of color and flavor.
