Shrimp Enchiladas With Roasted Sweet Potatoes And Parsnips Recipes

CHICKEN THIGHS WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES & PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Stir together the oil, mustard, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoons of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoons of the pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
• Heat the oven to 425°F.
• Arrange the chicken skin side up on one end of a large rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with any remaining marinade. At the other end of the baking sheet, toss together the sweet potato, parsnips, shallots, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoons each salt and pepper. Spread into a single layer. Sprinkle the chicken and vegetables lightly with a little more salt and roast for 20 minute Baste the chicken with the pan juices using a brush and stir the vegetables. Continue to roast, basting and stirring every 10 min., until the chicken is burnished-deeply browned-and the vegetables are tender, about 30 minute more.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon over medium heat in a large skillet until crisp, 5 to 8 minute Drain the bacon on paper towels. When the bacon is cool enough to handle, crumble it and toss with the parsley.
• When the chicken is done, stir the vegetables and transfer them to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon. Toss with half of the bacon mixture. Baste the chicken and transfer with tongs to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the remaining bacon mixture, and serve hot.
