Variations & Add-ins

Sweet potato – Small red potatoes or baby potatoes

Recipe Tips & Tricks

Cook in a single layer – Overcrowding leads to uneven cooking.
Flip halfway through – Ensures even crispiness on both sides.
Try to have the chicken pieces in even thickness – pound thick pieces out evenly.
Start with the chicken and sweet potatoes first – They need more time than the broccoli and red peppers.
Cut veggies evenly – This helps everything cook at the same pace.
Broil at the end – A quick broil can take the crispiness up a notch.
For best results – Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is at the proper internal temperature of 165°f and adjust the cooking time if needed.
