Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Sweet potatoes
- Bell peppers
- Spinach
- Broccoli
- Olive oil
- Garlic powder
- Paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
- Avocado (optional)
- Nuts (optional)
- Greek yogurt (optional)
- Salsa (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Toss them in a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional spices you like.
- Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until they’re tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your choice of spices. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, and toss in your chosen vegetables. Sauté until they’re just tender—about 5-7 minutes.
- In a bowl, start with a base of roasted sweet potatoes. Layer the sliced chicken on top, followed by the sautéed vegetables. Add any optional toppings like avocado, nuts, or Greek yogurt.
