Make
- Preheat oven to 500F (260C) degrees. {Check out our how to roast vegetables video.}
- Place sweet potatoes in a sheet pan and then cover tightly with foil. Bake for 10 minutes on top rack.
- While potatoes are cooking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil and then chicken thighs. Sear on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes, until they’ve formed a golden sear. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Return skillet to heat and add second part of oil. Toss in garlic and chard stems with a dash of salt and saute until softened, ~3 minutes. Add in chard leaves and saute until slightly wilted.
- Return chicken to skillet, nestling into chard leaves. Top with salsa, cover with foil, and lower heat to medium. Cook until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees, another 3 to 5 minutes. Finish with lime juice.
- Return to sweet potatoes. Take them out of the oven, remove foil, and toss with olive oil, paprika, and a generous sprinkle of salt. Roast for another 10 to 15 minutes uncovered, giving them a shake midway through.
- Finish potatoes with more salt if necessary. If you’re making tomorrow night’s breakfast burritos, set aside a portion of the potatoes. Enjoy the rest with chicken and chard saute.
