This quick serve meal is easy to make, roast and serve. The chicken thighs smothered with barbecue sauce make for a hearty meal when served with halved Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes dusted with chili powder.

If you are not a brussels sprouts  fan like my hubby, substitute it for broccoli. Same with the sweet potatoes. If your family prefers french fry type of potatoes then swap them out as well. I love roasted veggies in the oven, it’s easy and so healthy.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
• 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 7 to 9 wedges each
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder to taste
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 3/4 pound (about 3.5 cups) Brussels sprouts, halved and quartered depending on size
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce * IF DESIRED
