INGREDIENTS

2 large skinless chicken drumsticks

0 large skinless chicken thigh

0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp dried oregano

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 medium lemon

0.5 cup sweet potato

1 cup broccoli florets

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Peel and dice the sweet potato into half-inch cubes and place them on one side of the prepared baking sheet.

• 3

  Pat the skinless chicken drumsticks and thigh completely dry with paper towels and arrange them on the other side of the sheet.

• 4

  In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and the juice from half of the lemon.

• 5

  Drizzle the herb and oil mixture over both the chicken and the sweet potatoes, tossing the potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated.

• 6

  Thinly slice the remaining half of the lemon into rounds and tuck them around and on top of the chicken pieces.

• 7

  Roast in the center of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are fork-tender.

• 8

  While the chicken is roasting, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

• 9

  Plate the roasted lemon chicken and caramelized sweet potatoes alongside the steamed broccoli for a clean and balanced meal.
