Equipment

  • Large sheet pan (15" x 21")
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Chicken & Veggies

  • 1 small sweet potato about 1 cup
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1.75 cups assorted bell peppers I use 8 to 10 miniature bell peppers
  • 1.5 cups green beans
  • 2 heads broccoli about 3 and a half cups

Seasoning

  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Optional Additions

  • 0.75 cups freshly shredded Cheddar cheese optional, or Colby jack, Mexican blend, or pepperjack
  • Fresh cilantro optional, for serving
  • Limes cut into wedges, optional, for serving
  • Cooked rice or quinoa for serving or meal prep

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and line a very large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • 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, then chop into very small pieces.
  • Chop the chicken into ½-inch pieces. Remove the stems and seeds and coarsely chop the peppers. Cut the beans in half. Coarsely chop the broccoli.
  • Place all the veggies and chicken on the sheet pan. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and all the seasonings listed and mix.
  • Pour the seasoning mixture over the veggies and chicken and toss with your hands until everything is well coated. Spread everything into 1 even layer.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, flip, and bake another 10–20 minutes until veggies are crisp tender and chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and top with cheese if desired. Return to oven for 1–2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Remove and enjoy over cooked rice or quinoa and with fresh cilantro and a lime wedge if desired.

Notes

For tender veggies, bake them by themselves for 10 minutes before adding the chicken. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
