One Pan Honey Chicken and Sweet Potatoes
The chicken dinner that will bring back your chicken dinners. Easy and extremely delicious!
This is truly and simple and beyond delicious dinner you can throw together quickly and it tastes gourmet. I am a big fan of sweet potatoes so of course, this is my new chicken go -to for sure. The butter and honey make this taste incredible but if you want to make it dairy free, you can sub in more olive oil instead.

One Pan Honey Chicken + Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs bone in + skin on
- salt, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder + Italian herb seasoning to taste
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 2 tbs butter (divided)
- 4 tbs honey (divided)
- 1 heaping tbs Dijon
- 1 extra large sweet potato, peeled + cut into chunks
- 1 large red onion, cut into large chunks
- Garnish: fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Pat your chicken pieces dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt, chili powder, onion powder, garlic pwder and Italian herb seasoning blend.
- Heat a really large oven safe skillet on medium and add in the olive oil, 1 tbs butter and 2 tbs honey. Sear your chicken pieces – about 3 minutes per side to get a nice crust on them. Make room in the center of the pan to add in the remaing 1 tbs butter and 2 tbs honey and Dijon. Mix it together to melt and then add in the sweet potate and onion pieces. Season them with some chili powder and Italian seasoning and mix to coat them in the honey. Cook for a few more minutes then carefully transfer the pan to your oven to roast for 15-20 minutes.
Notes
If you want, you can sub in more olive oil for the butter to make this dairy free.

I made this tonight with skinless chicken breast (that’s all I had). My hubby and I loved it!
Oh my goodness
Flavour sensation
I added asparagus spears to the last couple of minutes of cooking for some green.
Very tasty and super easy to make! My partner asked that we save the recipe and I’ll be keeping it in rotation for our autumn/winter meals. Also, I did try this with skinless-boneless chicken breast cut into large chunks because I didn’t have any chicken thighs thawed at the time, and it still turned out wonderfully, in case anyone has chicken breast but not the thighs handy, and wants to give it a try.
I make it a sheet pan dinner, using boneless chicken thighs. So So yummy!
Absolutely delicious 😋
I pretty much never comment on recipes because I usually find something needs altered to fit my preferences and I’m not the sort to go over the amount of substitutions I made in a recipe.
I didn’t change a thing and this was an instant hit. Excellent balance of flavors. Served with a side of petits pois and it was perfect. Not a bite left. Thank you!
