Garlic Parmesan Chicken Thighs with Sweet Potato Bacon Hash Recipe

We made this recipe as part of the 2020 open arms free clinic virtual gala, and it has a special place in our hearts. Normally, the oafc gala is a joyous event in a large space filled with friends enjoying a delicious meal to raise money to support the health needs of our community. With all of the challenges 2020 brought, it was not possible to do the gala in person, and instead hosted the gala virtually. We still wanted attendees to enjoy a meal that felt worthy of a gala, so we went to work finding a recipe that felt special, was easy to cook at home, and also affordable enough that anyone who wanted to be a part of this experience could participate. We settled on this recipe for a few reasons-chicken thighs are delicious and affordable, we love the seasonality of a sweet potato dish in the early winter/late fall, this recipe uses sheet pans for cooking for easy clean up, and it's incredibly easy to make this dish look "Chef prepared. " We have a complete video walkthrough included with this post to help you make a great dish. We think this dish is a real winner and we hope you enjoy it whether you're cooking along with the open arms gala or enjoying later. Let us know what you think of this recipe and any tweaks you made to our steps. We'd love to hear how you made this recipe your own. Cheers
