ONE PAN HEALTHY CHICKEN AND VEGGIES
ONE PAN HEALTHY CHICKEN AND VEGGIES

Ingredients

  • Chicken & Veggies
  • 1 small (~1 cup) sweet potato
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 and 3/4 cup assorted sweet bell peppers (I use about 8-10 miniature bell peppers)
  • 1 and 1/2 cups green beans
  • 2 heads (~3 and 1/2 cups) broccoli
  • Seasoning
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon EACH onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 3/4 cup finely shredded cheese (colby jack, Mexican blend, cheddar, pepperjack)
  • Optional: fresh cilantro, fresh limes
  • Serve with or meal prep with cooked rice or quinoa

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a very large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Prep the chicken and veggies: First, pierce the sweet potato with a fork a few times and place in the microwave for 5 minutes, flipping on the other side after 2.5 minutes. Remove and let cool for a minute. Peel off the skins and then chop into very small pieces (important they are small and that you first microwave for these to be cooked in time with everything else!)
  3. Chop the chicken into 1/2 inch pieces. Remove the stems and seeds and coarsely chop the peppers. Cut the beans in half. Coarsely chop the broccoli.
