Ingredients:
1 large chicken breast, cut into chunks
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 medium carrot, diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium courgette/zucchini, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried herbs like oregano, basil, thyme)
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
• Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
• In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, combine the diced sweet potato, carrot, bell pepper, courgette, minced garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
• Place the chicken breast chunks on top of the vegetable mixture in the skillet or baking dish.
• Season the chicken breast with additional salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning if desired.
• Cover the skillet or baking dish with foil or a lid.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
• If desired, remove the foil or lid during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the chicken and vegetables to brown slightly.
• Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Customisation Ideas:
If you want to get more carbs in, double or triple the amount of sweet potatoes in there.
On the other hand, if carbs are being kept to a minimum, ditch the sweet potato entirely and have more of the other vegetables.
Try doubling the recipe so you can take it into the office for lunch tomorrow!
