Jerk Chicken with Sweet Potatoes Sheet-Pan Dinner

After I was injured, I learned to cook on sheet pans because they were light and roomy. Really they are adaptable to most cooking. Between that, paper plates, and aluminum foil I was set and cooking on the stove-top was reduced to very small pans. I couldn't lift any more.

Now post surgery and deep into recovery, I am gradually adding more weight I can lift but I still was excited to find all these sheet pan dinners. I can't wait to try them all! Later today it's sheet pan nachos for me.

Expert Tips–
Want it spicier? Add a tablespoon of finely chopped hot pepper, such as jalapeño or serrano, to the sauce mixture. If you don’t have an 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet or “sheet pan,” consider investing in one. They’re large enough to accommodate a full dinner on one pan, but small enough to fit in most home ovens.

Note for me: omit Cilantro
