Ingredients
For the Roasted Potatoes & Vegetables:

-
1 small yellow onion, cut into 1-inch cubes
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 tablespoon chili powder
-
1 head broccoli, cut into medium florets
For the Chicken:
-
24 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
½ cup BBQ sauce (no sugar added)
Instructions
1️⃣ Roast the Potatoes & Onions: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and onions with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-30 minutes until fork-tender.
2️⃣ Add the Broccoli: Remove the potatoes from the oven. Move them to one side of the baking sheet and toss the broccoli with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread the broccoli on the empty half of the baking sheet. Roast for another 10 minutes, until slightly crispy.
3️⃣ Cook the Chicken: While the veggies roast, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Drain excess liquid. Stir in the BBQ sauce and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until well coated.
4️⃣ Assemble & Serve: Divide the roasted potatoes, broccoli, and BBQ chicken into bowls. Arrange them side by side for a colorful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
