Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large onion
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan with a bit of olive oil.
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large bowl.
Add olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the sweet potatoes. Toss until well-coated.
Peel and slice the onion into thin wedges. Add it to the bowl with the sweet potatoes and toss to combine.
Transfer the seasoned sweet potatoes and onions to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out in an even layer.
Nestle the chicken breasts among the sweet potatoes, ensuring they make contact with the baking dish for even cooking.
In the same bowl, toss the broccoli florets with any remaining olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside for later.
Bake the chicken and sweet potato mixture in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven and scatter the seasoned broccoli florets across the top.
Return the dish to the oven and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Chicken and Sweet Potato Bake!
