- 🌶️1 tsp paprika

Method
- 1Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- 2Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- 3In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- 4Pat the chicken breasts dry and rub them with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle generously with the spice mixture.
- 5On a large baking sheet, spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in an even layer. Place the seasoned chicken breasts alongside them.
- 6Bake for 15 minutes, then add the broccoli florets to the baking sheet and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- 7Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve immediately with the roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli.
