Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 sweet potatoes, about 400g total
5 tablespoons barbecue sauce
75g blue cheese (Stilton or similar)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6). Scrub the sweet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato lengthwise into 6 even wedges. Arrange the wedges on a large baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Spread them in a single layer and place in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the chicken. Place each breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken until it is flattened to approximately 1cm thickness.
Transfer the flattened chicken breasts to a bowl and pour the barbecue sauce over them. Toss gently to coat all sides evenly with the sauce.
After the sweet potatoes have roasted for 20 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Arrange the sauced chicken breasts on the sheet alongside the wedges, leaving space between them. Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Crumble the blue cheese evenly over the hot sweet potato wedges, dividing the cheese among them. Return the sheet to the oven and bake for a final 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Divide the chicken and wedges among serving plates and serve immediately while still warm.
Comments
Chicken and sweet potatoes are both reliably available and affordable at every Charlotte chain, and blue cheese is standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, and Kroger—no special trip needed. The dish costs roughly $2 to $2.50 per serving depending on barbecue sauce choice and whether you buy quality blue cheese or budget crumbles. The stated 50 minutes is honest if you account for chicken cooking time, though you'll want to cube and roast the sweet potatoes alongside the chicken rather than sequentially to stay on schedule. It's genuinely family-friendly—a one-pan dinner that doesn't demand constant attention, though the contrast of warm BBQ chicken and cool, creamy blue cheese means leftovers are best eaten fresh the same night or quickly reheated in a low oven.
