DASH-Friendly Baked Chicken with Sweet Potatoes

One-sheet-pan baked chicken breast with roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli, seasoned with herbs instead of salt.

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 6 oz each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, paprika, and thyme. Spread on half of the baking sheet.
  3. Rub chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and lemon juice. Place on the other half of the sheet.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes. Add broccoli to the sheet, tossing lightly with any remaining oil and seasoning.
  5. Continue baking for 12–15 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and sweet potatoes are tender.
  6. Serve warm, dividing chicken, sweet potatoes, and broccoli among plates.
