Serves: 8
2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1/2-inch-wide pieces
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
1 ½ teaspoon black pepper
2 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces (about 2 medium breasts)
2 small heads broccoli, cut into florets (about 4 cups florets or a 24 oz bag of florets)
2 red bell pepper, cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 zucchini, halved lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick half moons
2 yellow squash, halved lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick half moons
5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F. For easy cleanup, line 2 large, rimmed baking sheets with foil. Lightly coat the foil with nonstick spray.
- Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat and then spread into a single layer on one baking sheet. Keep the bowl handy. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are soft and just beginning to brown.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl that you used previously for the sweet potatoes, place the chicken, broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash. Drizzle with the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and remaining 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat.
- Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture to the second sheet pan, using a spatula to spread everything into an even layer.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (165°F) and no longer pink in the middle and the vegetables are tender but not mushy. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Reserve half of the chicken, vegetables, and potatoes for additional recipes.
*If making only a half batch of the recipe (enough for one meal), potatoes and vegetables can fit on one sheet pan.
