Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of flavor)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it reaches full temperature while you prepare the other ingredients.

    Marinate the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken thighs with 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Toss the chicken until well coated and set aside to marinate for 10-15 minutes.

      Sauté Sweet Potatoes: In a large oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften and turn golden.

        Add Aromatics and Peppers: To the skillet, stir in the diced red onion and both bell peppers. Continue to sauté the mixture for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.

          Incorporate Corn and Garlic: Add the minced garlic and corn kernels to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the corn is heated through.

            Nestle the Chicken: Evenly place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the sweet potato and vegetable mixture. Drizzle the remaining BBQ sauce over the chicken to ensure it gets a flavorful glaze.

              Bake the Dish: Carefully transfer the skillet to your preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), while juices run clear.

                Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. For a fresh touch, garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley, if desired. Serve hot directly from the pan, ensuring everyone gets a generous scoop of this delicious hash!
