Process

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss together sweet potato with avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.

  2. Mix together seasoning for chicken, then sprinkle it on the breasts.

  3. After 20 minutes, take sweet potatoes out of the oven, toss, and then add the chicken to the same pan as the sweet potatoes. Bake both for another 16-18 minutes or until chicken reaches 165F.
