Baked BBQ Chicken with Sweet Potato and Cranberries

Baked BBQ Chicken with Sweet Potato and Cranberries is nourishing and tasty with a whole meal in one. The challenge I found was in giving it an attractive presentation on the plate.

Easy, tasty and healthy. Baked for 40m and the chicken was done at 165 degrees. Other than that, followed recipe completely for the first time. I will make it again due to the ease and how much my husband liked it. I think it could use some nuts tossed on the pan for the last 10m of the bake.

This was pretty good! I chopped the vegetables, put them in a large bowl, added some olive oil and balsamic vinegar, about 1 teas of salt and 1 teas of pepper, and 2 T rosemary. Tossed them, and roasted the vegetables at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. I used 1/4 cup apple juice, 1/4 cup chicken broth, and 1/2 cup barbeque sauce and added 1 teas garlic powder. I chopped up my chicken into bite sized pieces. I mixed everything together, and put it in a 9 x 13 pan. I baked it covered with foil for 30 minutes at 375, but the carrots were still hard. So I baked it covered another 30 minutes and it was just right. Very tasty. This made a LOT of vegetables, so next time I’ll double the chicken to 4 breasts instead of 2. The recipe as is made enough for 4, so I’d like the additional chicken in it.

I thought while making this the flavor would be bland. I was wrong! All of these ingredients work wonderfully and perfectly together. My husband usually enjoy chicken night, but he loved this!

I think the best part of this was the barbecue chicken thighs. I don’t know that the flavors worked that great together. Mine was not dry because I took the advice of the others that made the recipe before and added apple juice and chicken broth at the beginning. That was not an issue. I also cooked sweet potatoes in the microwave first for 3 minutes as opposed to 10 and it worked well. I think cooking for 10 minutes would’ve hurt the recipe. I just think the entire recipe was a bit underwhelming. No stand out flavors, etc. Not sure I’ll make it again. Also, not sure the onion fits well here.

This was a good recipe to start with,but I added some of my own things to make it even better. I used butternut squash in place of the sweet potatoes. I also added some fresh garlic cloves,and lots of salt and pepper. I added some apple juice and some chicken broth, and used chicken thighs. It was very good. And I will make it again.

This was awful. A lot of work for a meal with no taste. Carrots never cooked, they were hard. Sweet potatoes were dry. Chicken was tasteless. Very disappointed. Needs some kind of sauce, but I don’t even think that would save it.

I took the advice of other reviewers and adjusted the seasoning. I tossed the cut up vegetables with olive oil and dusted them with cinnamon. As I was putting this all together, it occured to me that everything there would be better with cinnamon. Instead of leaving the chicken breasts intact, I cut them into pieces, thoroughly coated them with barbecue sauce, and mixed the pieces into the vegetables before cooking. I also increased the amount of chicken (approx 18 oz) and the amount of sweet potato (one large) to make this into four servings. I didn’t add any salt. It would have helped, but I am on a low sodium diet. The sweet potato didn’t need to be pre-cooked. I was perfectly cooked at 45 minutes. My wife and I enjoyed the dish and I will probably make it again.

I tried this and thought it was Boring! So my family had to eat it 2 days in a row. First I seasoned my chicken with salt and pepper and left on the counter for 30 minutes. Then I chopped sweet 2 potatoes 1 yellow onion and roasted them in my baking pan for 15 minutes. Added carrots and shallots and roasted 15 more minutes. Added chicken and spread with olive oil then sprinkled with Thyme and about 1/3 cup of white wine, baked for 40 minutes. It was Fabulous! But I couldn’t have done this without your roadmap. Cheers

I made exactly as written. It was ok because I like all the ingredients individually. It’s what I would describe as earthy and rather healthy. I probably won’t make again though. It didn’t wow me like “Oooo this is gooood”. I used Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce; other than that, there’s really not alot of flavor.

Surprisingly YUM! Anything with bbq sauce is good tho. Pre cooking and prepping veggies is bit of work, but worth it. I baked 400° 25-30 min and chicken breast fillets were easily done. I’ve now made this with 2# cooked ground turkey, coated in bbq sauce, under the veggies/fruit. Wow, yum!

This recipe is pretty awful as-is. How can you have no salt or seasoning or oil with root vegetables? I also don’t understand why the sweet potato needed to be cooked in the microwave- chop it up with everything else. 45 minutes is plenty long to cook the sweet potato, and it won’t be an unappetizing mush. Toss the veggies in olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken in Ms dash or Montreal seasoning, and add bbq sauce if you like your chicken sweet. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Now you have yourself a salvageable recipe.

Great addition to any chefs Repertoire, cranberries… sweet potatoes, colorful. Bring it on during a cold blustery day !

Turned out to be a pretty tasty dish

It was very good, but not amazing. Changes I made – used canned sliced carrots, added peeled and diced zucchini and used dried cranberries. As others suggested, I added 1/2 cup of chicken broth halfway through baking time. I increased the barbecue sauce to 1/2 cup brushed on top of the chicken. I only had chicken tenderloins and I baked it for 40 minutes at 375.

This was a tasty dish with some unexpected flavors. I’d suggest cutting the carrots smaller to cook through and adding small or halved brussel sprouts for some green. I used craisins instead of whole cranberries and I used a spicy bbq sauce . One more thing, pound the chicken breast to about 1/2 inch thick .

Great recipe! Our guests loved it! Best new recipe I tried this year.

I made the recipe exactly as suggested, except I cut the onion into thin rings and layered the bottom of the dish (instead of chopping) and I added 1/4 cup apple juice halfway through. This dish had very little flavor, and it was dry. It also was not a “pretty” dish. I will not make it again.

It was chicken with a touch of BBQ sauce and a side of roasted vegetables–meh. The apple and cranberry was the only thing that made this different.

I used Gochujang. Delicious!

It boggles the mind that so many ppl found this recipe very good. If one follows the recipe just the way it’s written one gets a dry, tasteless dish.
