Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes Use fresh chicken for best results.
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes Ensure even size for uniform cooking.
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
  2. Place the cubed chicken, sweet potatoes, broccoli florets, and bell peppers into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the top.
  4. Use your hands or large spoons to toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with oil and spices.
  5. Spread the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan in a single layer; use two pans if necessary.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. About halfway through, use a spatula to toss the ingredients for even browning.
  2. Check that the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

This dish is versatile and can be served with a light salad. For variations, try adding different vegetables or toppings such as feta cheese or Greek yogurt.
