Instructions

1

Preheat your grill or heavy-bottomed grill pan to medium-high heat.

2

Toss the chicken thighs with the Cajun seasoning and minced garlic until thoroughly coated. Let them sit for 10 minutes to allow the spices to penetrate the meat.

3

Cut the sweet potato into 1/2-inch uniform cubes. Toss with a pinch of salt and roast in a 400 deg F (200 deg C) oven until tender and caramelized at the edges, about 20-25 minutes.

4

Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the grill. Sear for 6-7 minutes per side, until the skin is deeply charred, crackles when tapped, and the meat is cooked through. A thermometer should read 165 deg F (74 deg C).

5

During the last 5 minutes of grilling, add the broccoli florets to the grill surface, charring them until they are tender-crisp and show dark grill marks.

6

Plate the chicken alongside the roasted sweet potato cubes and charred broccoli. Serve hot, ensuring the spice rub has created a flavorful crust.
