  • Yield: 4 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (about 1 pound)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Vegetables:

  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  • Prepare the Oven:
    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • Season the Vegetables:
    In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and red onion with olive oil, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast the Vegetables:
    Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
  • Prepare the Chicken:
    While the vegetables roast, pat the chicken cutlets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Cook the Chicken:
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
  • Combine and Serve:
    Arrange the roasted vegetables on a platter and top with the cooked chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
