I was just venting a little to my mom, saying how I get so excited when a recipe comes together easily, turns out delicious, and actually looks pretty too. It’s not always an easy combo to nail, but when it happens, I’m the most excited to share it!

Funny enough, though—it’s usually the recipes I think don’t look that great that end up being the most popular. Go figure!

Regardless, I love when I get to share a recipe that’s not only delicious and healthy, but also easy to make and pretty too. Today’s one of those recipes—and I’m just giddy about it! Yes, giddy! Switching up our words today for a spring refresh!

Inspiration

This dish was inspired by one of my favorite salads—I took a few of the elements I love most, like the seasonings, sweet potatoes, and that dreamy dressing, and turned them into a full sheet pan meal!

This is the kind of meal that feels just right for spring—colorful, fresh, and super satisfying without being heavy. The bright herbs, crisp greens, and zippy honey mustard dressing bring that light, vibrant energy we all start to crave this time of year. And since everything roasts on one pan, it’s low-effort and low-mess…exactly what I want on a busy spring night!

Let’s Get into the Details!

Ingredients

• Sweet potatoes – I love to cut these like fries
• Olive oil
• Chicken thighs or breast – I use a mix

• Smoked paprika
• Onion powder
• Garlic powder
• Cumin
• Sesame seeds
• Lemon
• Kale
• Fresh herbs: basil, dill, parsley
• Avocado
• Feta cheese

• Lemon

Special tools

Just a sheet pan is all you need!

Steps

Step 1: the sweet potatoes

I like to cut these like French fries! Then toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Throw the potatoes in the oven to give them a small head start on cooking.

Step 2: season the chicken

The chicken is super flavorful and seasoned with plenty of spices: smoked paprika, chipotle chili powder, onion, garlic, and cumin.

Mix the chicken with olive oil, the above spices, and salt. Grab the pan full of potatoes and nestle the chicken around the sweet potatoes.

Add the sesame seeds to the chicken.

Roast everything together until it gets a bit crispy.

Step 3: the “salad”

This is just kale, you could also do arugula, and lots of fresh herbs. I like basil, dill, and a small amount of parsley.

The sheet pan will be topped with the greens – kind of like a salad on a pan!

Step 4: the dressing

I’m currently only wanting to make honey mustard based dressings. And this one is a favorite!

It’s creamy and a little sweet, and the Dijon adds a nice tang. It pairs wonderfully with the spicy flavors of the potatoes.

You can use tahini or mayo to make the dressing creamy. Lately I’ve preferred mayo over tahini!

Step 5: assemble

Toss the greens with the dressing. Get them really coated!

Now grab the chicken and potatoes. Add the greens to the hot pan. The heat will help break down the kale’s toughness.

Then add avocado chunks and lots of crumbled up feta! Finish with additional dressing – of course!

There’s so much happening with this simple-to-prepare dinner. It’s fun to make, exciting to eat, and tastes even better!

I’m looking forward to making this over and over throughout the spring and summer!
