Experience a burst of Spanish flavors with indulging Baked Chicken, Sweet Potatoes, and Quinoa – it's a wholesome dinner that will make your taste buds dance!
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a medium pot, cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Typically, this takes about 15 minutes.
While the quinoa is cooking, peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, mix the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Toss well to coat.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the chicken. In a bowl, rub the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, remaining paprika, salt, and pepper.
In a large ovenproof skillet, arrange the chicken in a single layer. Grill over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes per side until browned. After that, add the chicken broth to the skillet.
Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and add them to the skillet with chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit).
Once done, garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving, and fluff the quinoa.
Serve the chicken, sweet potatoes, and quinoa together on a plate garnished with parsley.
