Equipment

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

Ingredients
  

Protein

  • 1.5 lb chicken breast cubed
  • 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 oil and seasonings until evenly coated.
  • Mix vegetables with remaining oil. Spread everything in a single layer for crisp edges and even cooking.
  • Roast until chicken stays juicy and vegetables become tender with lightly crispy corners. Stir halfway through cooking.
  • Serve warm and enjoy the contrast of soft chicken and roasted vegetables.

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.
