Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into cubes.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes, cooking oil, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Toss well to coat the sweet potatoes evenly.
-
Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and caramelized.
-
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the smoky chicken. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and freshly ground pepper.
-
Season the chicken breasts with the spice mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cooking oil and then place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
-
Steam the green beans until tender. Drain any excess water.
-
In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the steamed green beans and sauté for a few minutes until they are coated in butter and seasoned with salt and pepper.
-
Divide the roasted sweet potatoes, sliced smoky chicken, and sautéed green beans into meal prep containers. Allow them to cool before sealing and refrigerating.
