Roast Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

Place a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 450ºF. Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.

Place the diced sweet potato, onion, olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a large zip-top bag. Close and shake the bag to evenly coat the vegetables in the oil. Set aside.

Rinse the chicken thighs and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the mustards, zest, lemon juice, thyme, garlic and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken.

Carefully remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven. Spread the vegetables evenly on the pan; place the chicken on top of the vegetables. Return the pan to the oven and roast, stirring the vegetables halfway through, for about 25-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown and the chicken is cooked through. (A thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read 165ºF.)
