Last week I made this sweet potato, broccoli, chicken bake recipe and posted it on snapchat/instagram stories. I got alot of questions about specific seasonings or bake time, so I decided to just post the full recipe on here!
This is one of my go-to week night dinners because it’s healthy, and SO simple. I LOVE one-pan meals! I also usually make it iwth 3 chicken breasts, so Michael and I have leftovers for days!
Below are the screenshots from my snapchat story, and then the recipe is at the end of the post! (I got the recipe from therealfoodrds.com and just modified a few things!) The great thing about this recipe is you can totally change it to your liking. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you prefer, or more or less of a certain seasoning.
