Hot Honey Chicken Sheet Pan Meal

SERVES 4

Ingredients  

2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into ¾-inch cubes

3 cups cauliflower florets, cut into bite-size pieces

1 medium red onion, chopped

1–1.25 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 teaspoons olive oil or avocado oil, divided

½ Tablespoon paprika

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons onion powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional

¼ cup hot honey, plus more for topping (you can purchase this online or else add normal honey with extra fresh chilli)

¼ cup crumbled feta, plus more for topping

1 jalapeño, sliced, optional

¼ cup chopped parsley or cilantro

Avocado chunks, for serving, optional

Instructions 

Preheat oven to 200 and line a large sheet pan (I used a half sheet) with parchment.

Add all spices to a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.

Add sweet potatoes, cauliflower and red onion to a bowl. Drizzle with 3 teaspoons olive oil. Sprinkle about ⅔ of the spice blend (around 4 teaspoons) over the veggies and toss to coat. Place on a prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, until the veggies begin to soften and lightly brown.

While cooking the veggies, add chicken cubes to the same bowl you used for the veggies, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and remaining seasoning blend (about 3 teaspoons) to the chicken.

Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Move veggies over to one side of the sheet pan. Add the cubed chicken to the pan. Return to the oven and roast for 10 minutes, tossing halfway, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender and caramelized.

Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle hot honey over everything. Sprinkle on crumbled feta and thinly sliced jalapeños (if using). Broil on high for 2-3 minutes just to crisp everything up.

Divide into bowls. Add fresh herbs, avocado chunks, additional feta cheese and more hot honey, if desired. Serve warm or portion into meal prep containers.
