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

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.
