Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and chop sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes for quicker cooking.
  3. Season Everything: In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
  4. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread seasoned sweet potatoes evenly onto one side of the prepared sheet pan. Place chicken breasts on the other side without overcrowding.
  5. Season the Chicken: Drizzle remaining olive oil over the chicken breasts and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and extra smoked paprika if desired.
  6. Roast Away!: Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and sweet potatoes are tender.
  7. Serve: Transfer to plates and drizzle with any leftover juices from the pan. Enjoy!
