Description

A one-pan weeknight wonder with juicy chicken, caramelized sweet potatoes, and crisp-tender veggies. Quick, flavorsome, and ready in under an hour, perfect for meal prep or quick dinners with minimal cleanup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large sweet potato (peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks)
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 bell peppers (any color, sliced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Marinate for 10 minutes while prepping veggies.
  3. Spread sweet potato chunks on the sheet pan. Toss with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt/pepper. Arrange broccoli and bell pepper slices among them, leaving space to roast evenly.
  4. Add marinated chicken pieces to the pan, ensuring they’re nestled among veggies. Roast for 30-35 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and veggies are caramelized.
  5. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for crispier edges (watch carefully).
  6. Serve immediately or store for meal prep.
