Main Ingredients

2 pounds chicken breast, diced Choose fresh chicken for the best flavor. If using frozen, be sure to thaw thoroughly before cooking.
4 medium sweet potatoes, cubed Peel for a smoother texture, or leave skin on for additional nutrients.
1 tablespoon olive oil A good quality olive oil enhances flavor.
1 teaspoon garlic powder Use fresh garlic for an even stronger taste.
1 teaspoon paprika Smoked paprika can add a nice smoky flavor.
1 teaspoon salt Adjust based on taste preferences.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper Freshly ground is more flavorful.
2 cups broccoli florets Fresh or frozen works; adjust cooking time if using frozen.
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped Substitute with cilantro or thyme if preferred.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, cubed sweet potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer.

Cooking

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and sweet potatoes are tender.
In the last 10 minutes of baking, add the broccoli florets to the baking sheet.
Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and let cool before portioning.

Notes

For proper storage, let the meal cool completely before transferring to airtight containers. Store in fridge for up to 5 days or freeze portions for about 3 months. Experiment with spices and substitute veggies based on what's in season.
