How to Add Flavor to Chicken
The herb and spice mixture kicks things off and is all of six ingredients - sage, marjoram, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can mix this up and rub down the chicken thighs the night before.
You want to generously coat the thighs with the spice rub as shown below.
The glaze can also be prepared in advance, and it too, is all of six ingredients that simmer together until thick and syrupy.
Prepping the Sheet Pan
When ready to get things fired up, slather it on the herb-rubbed chicken, scatter the sweet potatoes and onion wedges around, and you are oven ready. Acorn or butternut squash, carrots, baby potatoes, parsnips, and brussel sprouts would be delicious as well.
This is baked in a relatively hot oven so in 30 minutes at most, you'll be digging in to one fine sheet pan dish. Enjoy!

I made this dish last night, wonderful, I didn't have any peach jam so I subbed hot pepper jelly, we liked that extra little kick of heat. It was easily put together and a breeze to cook, I lined my baking dish with foil, so clean up was ever so easy, too. Thanks!
Kim Peterson says
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! You could also sub orange marmalade, apricot preserves, or create your own blend. 🙂 Love sheet pan dinners!

I like incorporating sweet fruit to poultry, but I don't think I've ever added peach jam. This sounds like a great idea, and the chicken looks so luscious and succulent. Well done!
Kim Peterson says
Thanks Ben! Fresh peaches would be a great addition too once they're in season. Take care!
