Ingredients
  • 4 oz Chicken breast
  • 1/2 Sweet potato
  • 1 cup Broccoli florets
  • 1/2 Bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper

Roast the Vegetables

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the cubed sweet potato, broccoli florets, and sliced bell pepper with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Prepare the Chicken

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the chicken breast. You can grill, pan-sear, or bake it. For grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Drizzle the chicken breast with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Assemble the Bowl

Once the vegetables and chicken are cooked, assemble the bowl. Place the roasted vegetables in a bowl and top with the grilled chicken breast.

Slice the chicken breast and serve. You can add a drizzle of olive oil or your favorite Paleo-friendly dressing.
