Vegetables

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cut chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. On the prepared baking sheet, spread the seasoned chicken in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  4. In the same bowl (no need to wash it), toss the broccoli florets and cubed sweet potato with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Arrange the vegetables around the chicken on the baking sheet. You can use a second sheet if necessary to ensure everything roasts rather than steams.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring the chicken and vegetables halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Divide the cooked chicken and vegetables evenly into four meal prep containers. Store sealed in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

You can substitute the vegetables with other quick-roasting options like bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots. For variety throughout the week, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of your preferred hot sauce just before eating.
