Main Ingredients

1 lb lean chicken breast
2 large sweet potatoes Peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil Divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
to taste Salt and pepper
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional) Adds flavor and presentation

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.
Season the chicken breasts with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper, and place them on the same baking sheet as the sweet potatoes.

Cooking

Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and sweet potatoes are tender.

Serving

Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before cooking. Try adding other vegetables, like bell peppers or broccoli, for more color and nutrition. Ensure the sweet potatoes are cut into even pieces for uniform cooking.
