Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Scoop
  • Tray
  • Freezer

Ingredients
  

Protein

  • 1.5 lb chicken breast cut into pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided

Vegetables

  • 2 cups broccoli florets fresh
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes cubed
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet. Toss chicken with olive oil and seasonings until evenly coated.
  • Mix broccoli and sweet potatoes with remaining oil. Spread everything in a single layer for even roasting.
  • Roast until the chicken feels juicy and vegetables turn tender with crisp edges. Stir halfway for balanced texture.
  • Serve warm and enjoy the contrast of soft chicken and lightly crispy vegetables.

Notes

Cook a few minutes less for softer vegetables or longer for crisp edges. Freeze cooked chicken separately for up to two months. Assemble gently to keep vegetables intact. Customize flavors with herbs or spices. Store leftovers in airtight containers for four days.
