A hearty and colorful meal combining roasted buffalo chicken, sweet potatoes, and broccoli with a zesty buffalo sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces, about 2 cups)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • Cooked quinoa or rice (optional for serving)
  • Blue cheese or ranch dressing (optional for serving)
  • Blue cheese crumbles (optional for serving)
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, toss the chicken pieces with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  4. After 15 minutes, add the seasoned chicken and broccoli florets to the sheet pan with the partially-roasted sweet potatoes. Return to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are fork-tender with golden edges.
  5. While everything finishes cooking, whisk together the buffalo sauce and melted butter in a small bowl.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the buffalo sauce mixture over the chicken only. Use tongs to toss the chicken until evenly coated.
  7. Serve the buffalo chicken and vegetables over quinoa or rice if desired, and top with your favorite toppings like blue cheese crumbles, ranch dressing, or fresh herbs.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with chickpeas or tofu coated in buffalo sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
