For the Sweet Potatoes:

  • 1 cup mixed herbs (dill, basil, parsley, cilantro, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1-2 cups tzatziki sauce
  • 6 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup tahini

Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is key to getting those sweet potatoes perfectly roasted.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken, smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until the chicken is well coated.
  3. On a separate cutting board, slice the sweet potatoes into rounds or cubes, depending on your preference. In another bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. On a large sheet pan, spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in an even layer. Nestle the marinated chicken pieces among the sweet potatoes.
  5. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
  6. While the chicken and sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the tzatziki. In a mixing bowl, combine the tahini, grated garlic, lemon juice, honey, and tzatziki sauce. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  7. Once the chicken and sweet potatoes are done, remove the pan from the oven. Top with sliced pickles, pepperoncini, pickled red onions, sun-dried tomatoes, mixed herbs, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with the prepared tzatziki sauce and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
