I had this for dinner last night, and it was amazing!

Why It Was So Amazing

1. The Perfect Balance of Flavors: What I loved most about this meal was the balance of flavors. The sweetness from the roasted sweet potatoes complemented the savory chicken, while the Brussels sprouts added a slight bitterness that rounded out the dish beautifully. The combination of fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme, along with a pinch of paprika, added layers of flavor that made every bite exciting.
2. One-Pan Simplicity: I can’t stress enough how convenient this dish was to prepare. The beauty of a one-pan meal is that everything cooks together, soaking up the flavors of the chicken and seasoning as it roasts in the oven. All I had to do was chop the vegetables, season the chicken, and let the oven do the work. No need for complicated steps or multiple dishes to clean afterward!
3. Healthy and Nutritious: This meal is packed with nutrients. The chicken provides a lean source of protein, while the sweet potatoes deliver fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Brussels sprouts, known for their health benefits, are full of vitamins C and K, fiber, and a wide range of minerals. Together, these ingredients create a balanced, healthful meal that’s just as good for your body as it is for your taste buds.
4. Satisfying and Filling: The combination of protein, healthy fats from olive oil, and complex carbohydrates from the sweet potatoes made this meal incredibly satisfying. I didn’t feel sluggish or overly full, but I was definitely content and energized. It’s a perfect option for dinner when you want to feel satisfied without the heaviness that sometimes comes with traditional comfort food.
5. Customizable: One of the best parts about this recipe is how customizable it is. You can easily swap the chicken for turkey or even a vegetarian option like tofu or chickpeas. The vegetables can be changed according to your preferences — carrots, parsnips, or zucchini would work just as well. The seasoning can also be tweaked depending on what you have on hand or your personal taste. The flexibility makes this a recipe that you can return to again and again, with endless variations.

How I Made It: Step-by-Step

This dish was so simple to make! Here’s how I pulled it together:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

I started by preheating my oven to 400°F (200°C). Roasting at a higher temperature ensures that everything gets beautifully browned and caramelized.

Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients

• I chopped up the sweet potatoes into cubes, halved the Brussels sprouts, and sliced the red onion into wedges.
• The chicken breasts were seasoned with a mix of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. I rubbed the seasoning into the chicken to ensure every inch was coated.

Step 3: Roast

• I spread the sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and red onion on a large baking sheet. Drizzled with a bit more olive oil and seasoned them lightly with salt and pepper.
• Then, I placed the seasoned chicken on the same baking sheet, ensuring there was enough space for everything to roast evenly.
• Into the oven it went for 25-30 minutes until the chicken was cooked through, the sweet potatoes were tender, and the Brussels sprouts were golden and crispy on the edges.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Once everything was cooked, I served the chicken alongside the roasted veggies. The combination of tender chicken, caramelized vegetables, and fresh herbs was simply divine.
