One-Pot Peruvian Chicken with Seco Verde Sauce & Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Serves 3–4 | Ready in 30 minutes

A Texas twist on a Peruvian classic—succulent chicken simmered in a bright, cilantro-rich Seco Verde sauce, paired with roasted sweet potatoes and a quick pickled onion garnish.

Ingredients:
For the Chicken & Sauce:

1 jar SAVIR Foods Seco Verde Peruvian Cooking Sauce

1 lb Deeply Rooted Ranch Boneless Skin-On Chicken Thighs

1 tbsp Texas Olive Oil

½ cup chicken broth (or water)

Salt & pepper to taste

For the Roasted Veg:

1 large Sweet Potato, cubed

1 small Red Onion, thinly sliced (half for roasting, half for quick pickling)

Olive oil, salt, pepper

Quick Pickled Onion (Optional):

½ red onion, thinly sliced

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Pinch of salt + sugar

Instructions:
Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss cubed sweet potato and half of the red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a sheet pan for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.

Sear the Chicken:
While veggies roast, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear skin-side down until golden (about 5 minutes), flip and cook 2–3 minutes more.

Simmer in Seco Verde:
Add jar of SAVIR Seco Verde Sauce and broth to the skillet. Stir, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 12–15 minutes, until chicken is tender and cooked through.

Quick Pickled Onion (Optional):
In a small bowl, toss remaining red onion with vinegar, salt, and sugar. Let sit at room temp while everything finishes.

Serve:
Spoon chicken and sauce over roasted sweet potatoes. Top with pickled onions, fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley), and serve with warm flatbread or over rice.
