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.
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
#### 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 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.
