Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1 red onion diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the sweet potatoes for about 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Season Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then coat evenly with Cajun seasoning.
- Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
- Sauté Veggies: In the same skillet, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and broccoli. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
- Slice Chicken: Once rested, slice the chicken into strips.
- Assemble Bowls: In individual bowls, layer roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed veggies, and sliced chicken.
- Garnish and Serve: Top each bowl with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
