Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
Vegetables
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 cups cubed)
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
Other Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Sheet Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Prepare Vegetables: Cube the sweet potatoes and separate broccoli into florets. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until everything is evenly coated for roasting.
- Arrange Ingredients on Sheet Pan: Spread the sweet potatoes on one half of the prepared baking sheet and place the chicken breasts on the other half. Drizzle extra olive oil over both the chicken and vegetables to keep them moist during cooking.
- Coat Chicken with Buffalo Sauce: Pour buffalo sauce over the chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated. If desired, mix honey into the buffalo sauce beforehand to add a touch of sweetness.
- Roast: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after removing from the oven. Then, serve the buffalo chicken alongside roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli, drizzling extra buffalo sauce over the bowls if desired for added flavor.
Notes
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to be fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Honey in the buffalo sauce is optional; it balances heat nicely if you prefer a milder taste.
- For extra crispiness, broil the chicken and vegetables for 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adjust seasoning according to your preference; add garlic powder or smoked paprika for additional flavor.
