Instructions
Creating Chicken and Sweet Potato Bowls is simple with these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Vegetables: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Chop the broccoli and red bell pepper.
3. Season Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and coat it with the seasoning mix.
4. Bake Sweet Potatoes: On a baking sheet, spread out the diced sweet potatoes. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
5. Add Chicken: After 20 minutes, add the seasoned chicken pieces to the same baking sheet with the sweet potatoes. Mix gently and bake for another 10 minutes.
6. Add Vegetables: After the chicken is added, toss in the broccoli and red bell pepper. Bake everything together for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
7. Check Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
8. Garnish: Once everything is cooked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
