Ingredients
Protein
- 1.5 lb chicken breast cubed
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided

- 2 cups sweet potatoes cubed
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet. Toss chicken with oil and seasonings until evenly coated.

- Roast until chicken stays juicy and vegetables become tender with lightly crispy corners. Stir halfway through cooking.

Notes
Roast less for softer vegetables or longer for crisp texture. Freeze cooked chicken separately for easy meals. Assemble gently to keep vegetables intact. Customize flavors with herbs, spice blends, or cheese. Store leftovers refrigerated in airtight containers for up to four days.
