Ingredients

1.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
2 sweet potatoes (large, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
On the prepared baking sheet, combine 2 large sweet potatoes and 1 pound Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and half of the herb seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.
Place 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts in the center of the baking sheet, amidst the vegetables. Drizzle chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining herb seasoning.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. If chicken browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before slicing chicken. Serve warm.

Notes

You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini during the last 15 minutes of roasting. Ensure vegetables are in a single layer for best caramelization.
