INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Sweet Potato (approx. 130g)
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Parsnip
1 tsp Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, mix cocoa powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Peel (if desired) and cut the sweet potato, carrot, and parsnip into bite-sized cubes.
Toss the chopped vegetables in olive oil, a pinch of salt, and additional black pepper.
Spread the vegetables around the chicken on the baking sheet, ensuring a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the vegetables are tender with slightly crispy edges.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve warm.
