Prosciutto Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

Prosciutto Chicken and Sweet Potatoes is a sheet pan recipe, not just for people on the AIP/Paleo, but for everyone! It’s easy and requires little cleanup.

You probably already know about the ease and convenience of sheet pan recipes. I, however, am extremely late to the party. Nevertheless, I have arrived. How wonderful it is to toss everything on one pan, throw it in the oven, then put your feet up while it is cooking. At the end of the meal, there is minimal cleanup, which for me is probably the second best part about it. (Food bloggers do a TON of dishes, y’all. I tell you WHUT. 😳)

Ingredients

Look at all those colors! Now, do you have to use three different colors of sweet potato? No, but it makes the dish look prettier, and I believe with all my heart that the more variety we can get in our diet, the better.

Prosciutto is readily available in grocery stores, but if you are in the elimination phase of AIP, source prosciutto that is only pork and salt. Some prosciutto has other ingredients that are not AIP-friendly. (Mine has pepper in it, but I’ve successfully re-introduced pepper.) Choose your prosciutto with care.

Equipment

Fortunately, you don’t need much equipment for a sheet pan recipe – mostly just a good knife. You will, however, need a half sheet pan. Mine gets SO much use. If you don’t have one, consider adding one to your equipment repertoire.

As always, I thank you for being here and sharing your journey with me. To your health!

Prosciutto Chicken and Sweet Potatoes is a sheet pan recipe, not just for people on the AIP/Paleo, but for everyone! It’s easy and requires little cleanup.

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped sweet potatoes

• 1 cup chopped white sweet potatoes

• 1 cup chopped purple sweet potatoes

• 1 large red onion, sliced

• 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil + more for brushing

• 1 tsp sea salt

• 1 tsp garlic powder + more for sprinkling

• 1/2 tsp onion powder + more for sprinkling

• 1/4 tsp pepper (omit for elimination phase of AIP)

• 8 chicken breast tenderloins

• 4 thin slices of prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, toss all sweet potatoes and onions with olive oil, salt, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper (if using) until everything is well coated. Turn out onto a parchment- or silicone-lined half sheet pan, pushing vegetables to the edges to leave room for chicken.
• Wrap each piece of chicken diagonally with prosciutto and place in the center of the roasting pan. Brush chicken and prosciutto with olive oil. If desired, sprinkle with onion powder and garlic powder.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until desired doneness.

Notes

• For elimination phase of AIP, source prosciutto that is AIP-friendly. (No pepper, etc.)
