Chimichurri Chicken & Sweet Potato Hash Meal Prep Bowl with sweet potato hash, chimichurri chicken and chimichurri in a white porcelain bowl

Compared with our Chimichurri Grilled Chicken Sweet Potato Bowl, this meal prep version turns the sweet potato into a sheet-pan hash with red onion and pepper, so there's no separate grain to cook. Chimichurri keeps for a week and wakes up the bowl when reheated.

Why this recipe works

Thin cutlets cook fast and stay juicy. The vinegar in chimichurri brightens the sweet hash.

Ingredient notes

Keep the serving chimichurri separate from what touches raw chicken.

Common mistakes

  • Crowding the hash.
  • Overcooking the thin cutlets.

What to serve with it

Avocado or a fried egg.

Meal prep

Lasts 4 days; chimichurri 1 week.

Cooking tips

Make the chimichurri first. Use two pans if needed so the hash browns.

Swaps and variations

Use thighs. Add a cup of black beans to the hash.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate within 2 hours for up to 4 days. Reheat to 165°F (74°C), then add chimichurri.

Ingredients

4 servings
  • For the chimichurri
  • For the hash
  • For the chicken

You’ll need: rimmed sheet pan; grill pan; small bowl; 4 meal prep containers; instant-read thermometer

Method

  1. Mix the parsley, garlic, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt for the chimichurri.

  2. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sweet potatoes, onion and bell pepper with the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and roast 25 to 30 minutes, until caramelized.
