Chicken Broccoli and Sweet Potato Sheet Pan Dinner⠀
~⠀
Protein rich chicken pieces and fresh nutritious veggies are tossed with flavorful herbs and spices and all roasted together on a single sheet pan, meany easy dinner and quick clean up! We love this dinner! This is also a great recipe for meal prep for lunch.⠀
~⠀
20 oz sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 3/4-inch cubes (2 medium, about 3 cups)⠀
4 Tbsp olive oil, divided⠀
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into pieces (about 1 1/4-inches, keep them close to the same size so they all cook even)⠀
4 cups small broccoli florets⠀
1/2 of a medium red onion, diced into chunks⠀
3 cloves garlic, minced⠀
3/4 tsp of each dried thyme, sage, parsley and rosemary⠀
1/8 tsp nutmeg⠀
Salt and freshly ground black pepper⠀
1/2 cup pecans, whole or roughly chopped⠀
1/3 cup dried cranberries⠀
⠀
Instructions⠀
⠀
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place sweet potatoes in a mound on a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet, pour 1 Tbsp over top and toss to evenly coat. ⠀
Spread into an even layer and roast in preheated oven for 15 minutes (meanwhile chop and prep remaining ingredients).⠀
Remove sweet potatoes from oven, add chicken pieces, broccoli florets, and red onion around sweet potatoes (just placing everything randomly). Sprinkle with garlic and drizzle everything with remaining 3 Tbsp olive oil (focusing mostly on the broccoli so it doesn’t dry) and toss with a spatula to evenly coat. ⠀
Sprinkle evenly with thyme, sage, parsley, rosemary and nutmeg and about 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Toss again to evenly coat with seasonings and spread out evenly (try not to overlap chicken pieces). Return to oven and roast about 16 – 20 minutes longer, tossing once halfway through, until chicken registers 165 degrees in center. ⠀
Toss in pecans and cranberries. Serve immediately.
