Ingredients
16 chicken thighs
5–7 tbsp olive oil
4–6 tbsp Cajun seasoning
4 sweet potatoes, cubed
2 tsp salt
2 tsp garlic powder
2 cups corn kernels
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss chicken thighs with 3–4 tbsp olive oil and Cajun seasoning. Let marinate for 15–20 minutes if time allows.
On a baking sheet, spread cubed sweet potatoes. Drizzle with 2–3 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Toss to coat.
Arrange seasoned chicken thighs on a separate baking tray or alongside the sweet potatoes if space permits.
Bake both trays for 30–35 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.
In the last 5 minutes, toss corn onto the sweet potato tray to warm through.
Portion into 8 containers with equal parts chicken, sweet potatoes, and corn.
