Baked Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Asparagus

I haven't posted in a while but I finally have time again. Finals are finally over!! I will have more time to exercise and blog now! No excuses. For those who actually look at my blog, sorry for being MIA. I will try to post more yummy food recipes! :)

For today's meal, I made something really simple. You will probably think it's unbelievable! Hahaha! Everything will be made in the oven.

(Pictured above is chicken seasoned with Mrs. Dash - Extra Spicy)

Recipe for sweet potatoes adapted from Creative Cain Cabin.

Yields: ~5 servings

Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F.

Use two different baking trays.

Baked Chicken & Sweet Potatoes
~5-6 thin sliced boneless chicken breast (If you don't have thin sliced chicken breast, you can just cut the chicken breast)
Olive Oil
Mrs. Dash seasoning (I used Original Blend and Extra Spicy for another meal)

-Place the thin sliced chicken breast onto the baking sheet. You can line the baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and lightly season. Cover the tray with aluminum foil and poke holes so that the chicken breast can roast.

1/2 bag of cut sweet potatoes from Trader Joe's or ~2 sweet potatoes
Olive Oil
Paprika seasoning (you can use other seasonings as well)

-Cut the sweet potatoes into cubes - try your best to cut them into evenly sliced pieces. Place the sweet potatoes onto the baking tray (lined with parchment paper/aluminum foil). Drizzle with olive oil then mix around to ensure the oil is all over the potatoes. Season with desired seasoning.

Place the tray of sweet potatoes and chicken into the oven for 35 minutes @ 350 degrees F.

Baked Asparagus
1/2 bag of Asparagus (or 3/4lbs)
Olive oil
Black pepper - sprinkle desired amount

-Preheat the oven at 400 degrees F.

-Trim the asparagus. Wash & dry. Place the asparagus onto a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil - mix to ensure that the olive oil is distributed evenly. Sprinkle ground black pepper onto the asparagus.

Cook the asparagus for 8 minutes. ENJOY!! :)
