Chicken Thighs And Veggies
In my family, we’re used to big extravagant Sunday night dinners packed with appetizers, soups, some kind of roasted meat and potatoes and of course desserts. Today’s recipe, chicken thighs with sweet potatoes, corn and kale, is one that would shine on your Sunday night dinner table, but is also simple enough to make on any weeknight. After all, simplicity is what I strive for.
Ingredients
Chicken – Thighs skin on bones in for tons of flavor and moisture. Veggies – Sweet corn either canned or frozen, cubed sweet potatoes, and chopped kale. Oil – Olive oil to saute our chicken thighs in. Butter – Unsalted so as to control the sodium content of our dish. Wine – We want a nice dry white wine, something like sauvignon blanc. Be sure to choose a wine you yourself would drink! Seasoning – Salt and pepper.
Not A Chicken Thigh Fan?
I chose these chicken thighs with bone in and their skin on because I wanted some nice crispy chicken and this just worked for me. Of course you can use chicken breasts, no skin and no bones, up to you.

How To Ensure Your Chicken Is Cooked Through
If you’re used to only really cooking with chicken breast just keep in mind that the color of the cooked meat will be different. Chicken breast cooks from pink to white whereas chicken thigh will cook darker, even a little pinkish even when done. So fear not if your thigh still has some color to it, as long as the internal temp is 180 F degrees you’re good to go!
