This easy take on deviled chicken (ours gets its sharp, zesty flavor from Dijon and spices) bakes along with two sides of sweet potato and collard greens. For extra-tender texture, we’re sealing the collards inside a foil packet, which traps moisture as they steam in the oven.

Prepare the ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the sweet potato lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Remove and discard the collard green stems; roughly chop the leaves. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel and roughly chop the garlic.
Season the sweet potato:
Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Place the sliced sweet potato on the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer on 1 side of the sheet pan.
Assemble the collard greens packet:
Place a large, rectangular piece of aluminum foil on a work surface. In a large bowl, combine the chopped collard greens, sliced onion, chopped garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir to thoroughly combine. Transfer to 1 side of the foil; top with 1 tablespoon of water. Fold the foil in half over the seasoned collard greens. Roll and crimp the 3 open edges inwards to completely seal the packet. Transfer to the other side of the sheet pan of seasoned sweet potato.
Coat the chicken:
Line a separate sheet pan with aluminum foil. On a large plate, combine the breadcrumbs and cheese; season with salt and pepper. In a small pot, heat the butter on medium until melted (or melt in a bowl in the microwave). Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the mustard and spice blend; season with salt and pepper. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Thoroughly coat in the butter-mustard mixture, then in the seasoned breadcrumbs (pressing to adhere). Transfer to the sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil.
Bake the chicken & vegetables:
Bake the coated chicken and seasoned vegetables 20 to 22 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through and the sweet potato is tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. Carefully transfer the foil packet to a work surface.
Finish the collard greens & serve your dish:
Carefully open the packet of cooked collard greens. Stir in the vinegar; season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the baked chicken with the finished collard greens and baked sweet potato. Enjoy!
