Prep 15 minutes Cook 25 minutes Total 40 minutes Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Fresh parsley for garnish

How to make it

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Place the chicken pieces, cubed sweet potatoes, and red onion wedges onto the prepared baking sheet.
3. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Use your hands or a large spoon to toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with oil and spices.
5. Spread the mixture out in a single layer so that the ingredients have space to roast rather than steam.
6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
7. Remove from the oven, garnish with a little fresh parsley if you like, and serve warm.

Tips

Serve this dish warm right off the pan. You can add a simple green salad on the side for a complete meal.
