Ingredients

Proteins

  • 2 chicken breasts

Vegetables

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for roasting.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes and broccoli florets with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture for optimal flavor.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet to promote even roasting.
  4. Season Chicken: Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a bit of paprika for added flavor, then place them on the same baking sheet alongside the vegetables.
  5. Roast the Ingredients: Roast the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature reaching 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  6. Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven, slice the chicken breasts, and divide everything evenly into meal prep containers for convenient, ready-to-eat meals throughout the week.

Notes
