Ingredients
Scale
4 medium chicken breasts (pounded thin)
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning or taco seasoning
2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
4 cups sweet potatoes (diced)
4 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Place diced sweet potatoes on the baking sheet. Drizzle with a light layer of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes.
- While potatoes bake, combine chicken, seasoning, minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Toss to coat the chicken thoroughly.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Add the chicken and broccoli florets to the pan with the potatoes. Drizzle broccoli with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
- Optional: Broil on high for 2-3 minutes to brown the chicken.
- For meal prep: Let chicken rest for 10 minutes, slice, and divide into 4 containers with the vegetables.
Notes
- Ensure sweet potatoes are cut into even 1/2 inch cubes for consistent roasting.
- Pound chicken to a uniform thickness so it cooks at the same rate as the broccoli.
