It’s almost fall and that means delicious vegetables! Fall is my favorite season! Even though East Texas doesn’t really have a fall, I can still pretend!

As a child I loved veggies, so I searched for a delicious pan dinner recipe. I’m in no way a cook, but this recipe is so easy, even I can make it! And cleanup is a breeze.

Ingredients
  • 20 oz sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 3/4-inch cubes (2 medium, about 3 cups)
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil , divided
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts , diced into pieces (about 1 1/4-inches, keep them close to the same size so they all cook even)
  • 4 cups small broccoli florets
  • 1/2 of a medium red onion , diced into chunks
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 3/4 tsp of each dried thyme , sage, parsley and rosemary
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup pecans , whole or roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Place sweet potatoes in a mound on a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet
  3. Pour 1 Tbsp over top and toss to evenly coat.
  4. Spread into an even layer and roast in preheated oven for 15 minutes (meanwhile chop and prep remaining ingredients).
  5. Remove sweet potatoes from oven, add chicken pieces, broccoli florets, and red onion around sweet potatoes (just placing everything randomly)
  6. Sprinkle with garlic and drizzle everything with remaining 3 Tbsp olive oil (focusing mostly on the broccoli so it doesn’t dry) and toss with a spatula to evenly coat
  7. Sprinkle evenly with thyme, sage, parsley, rosemary and nutmeg and about 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper
  8. Toss again to evenly coat with seasonings and spread out evenly (try not to overlap chicken pieces).
  9. Return to oven and roast about 16 – 20 minutes longer, tossing once halfway through, until chicken registers 165 degrees in center
  10. Toss in pecans and cranberries
  11. Serve immediately (preferably with a glass full of apple cider, it’s the perfect pairing and completes this fall meal)
