Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced small
- 12 oz shaved or quartered Brussels sprouts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 boneless chicken thighs
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts to the baking sheet. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Bake for 20 minutes, toss the vegetables, then bake for another 10 minutes until tender and slightly crispy. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Add chicken thighs to a large bowl and pour half of the dressing over them. Toss to coat and marinate for 30 minutes. Reserve the remaining dressing.
- Air fry chicken at 425°F for 14–16 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Alternatively, bake at 425°F for 20–25 minutes.
- Slice or chop the cooked chicken.
- Divide roasted vegetables evenly among four bowls. Top with chicken, dried cranberries, feta, and pecans.
- Drizzle the remaining dressing over each bowl and serve warm.
Notes
- You can substitute goat cheese for feta for a creamier flavor.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For extra crunch, toast the pecans before serving.
- This recipe also works well with chicken breast instead of thighs.
