Sheet Pan Roasted Chicken, Butternut Squash, Brussels, and Carrots
I adore roasted vegetables. To me, every vegetable is better roasted. In fact, I only eat carrots that are roasted. And, I much prefer roasted Brussel sprouts over sauteed. Roasting vegetables caramelize their natural sugars for great flavor.
Colorful veggies have more nutrients and this meal is bright and healthy! For the vegetables, I used butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and Brussel sprouts. If you’re not a fan of these vegetables, replace them with veggies you do like.
Some great alternative vegetables are fingerling potatoes, cabbage, green beans, asparagus, mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, squash, zucchini, bell peppers, and onion.
The most important tip to remember is to cut the vegetables the same size. This way they will cook evenly. As you can see, I cut my vegetables in approximate 1-inch cubes.
More tips
Furthermore, for your boneless, skinless chicken breasts, you’ll need to cover them with plastic wrap and pound them so that they are the same thickness all over. My chicken was approximately 1/2 inch thick before cooking. (Protein always swells as it cooks so it’s thicker about it cooks.)
In addition to making sure everything is evenly sized, I used a healthy Avocado Oil Spray to ensure the chicken and vegetables did not dry out during cooking. This oil is healthier, has no chemicals or soy, is verified non-GMO, and certified paleo. As well, it can stand up to higher heat of 500°F. If you can’t find avocado oil, coconut oil is another good option.
I also seasoned both the vegetables and chicken with Everything Seasoning. (Both these items I got at Walmart, but you can easily order from Amazon and have it delivered.) Find the recipe for Everything Seasoning Recipe here.
Another healthy chicken option are these Air Fryer BBQChicken Thighs.
