Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into ½-inch cubes.
3
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch pieces and separate the broccoli florets into bite-sized chunks.
4
Place the chicken breasts on one side of the sheet pan and surround them with the sweet potatoes, broccoli, and peppers.
5
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.
6
Drizzle the seasoning blend evenly over the chicken and vegetables, then toss everything gently with your hands or a spatula to coat well.
7
Spread the mixture into a single layer so nothing overlaps, ensuring even roasting.
8
Roast for 22-25 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
9
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
10
Divide the sliced chicken and roasted vegetables equally among 4 meal prep containers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Boneless skinless chicken thighs work great and stay very juicy. Roast for the same amount of time, ensuring they reach 175°F internal temperature for optimal tenderness.
Spread them in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding traps steam and makes veggies soft. Also, roast at a high temperature (400°F) and flip halfway.
Yes, this recipe freezes well. Place fully cooled portions in freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat.
Zucchini, red onion, asparagus, or green beans are excellent substitutes. Just adjust roasting times slightly—softer veggies may need 15-20 minutes.
You can easily make it low-carb by replacing sweet potatoes with cauliflower florets or adding extra broccoli and peppers. The seasoning remains delicious.
