Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Rinse the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half.
- Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with 1 Tbsp oil, and add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Toss to coat.
- Wash the sweet potato then slice it in half lengthwise.
- Prick the outside surface with a fork.
- Rub 1 Tbsp oil over all surfaces of the sweet potato.
- Place the sweet potato, cut sides down, on the baking sheet with the Brussels sprouts.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, stir the Brussels sprouts, then return the baking sheet to the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts have reached your desired level of browning.
- If the sweet potato is not softened all the way through at this point, just remove the sprouts and return the sweet potato to the oven.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the chicken breast.
- Combine the steak seasoning, smoked paprika, and sweet paprika in a bowl.
- Coat the chicken breasts in the seasoning mixture.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Once hot, add the chicken breasts.
- Cook the chicken breasts, without flipping, for about 8 minutes, or until well browned on the bottom.
- Flip the breasts and cook on the second side until well browned and cooked through (internal temperature 165ºF).
- Cooking time will vary with the thickness of the chicken.
- Transfer the cooked chicken breast to a clean cutting board to rest for five minutes before slicing.
- Cut the sweet potato halves in half once again to create four portions.
- Divide the sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and sliced chicken between four containers.
- Add a pat of butter to each piece of sweet potato.
- Refrigerate up to four days.
