Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 small purple onion, diced
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • optional sliced green onion, pumpkin seeds, chopped parsley (for topping)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a 9x13-inch baking dish, toss sweet potatoes, purple onion, Brussels sprouts, garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, coating everything evenly.
  • Pour chicken broth over the vegetable mixture. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 22–25 minutes or until vegetables are fork-tender.
  • While vegetables cook, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sear until golden and almost cooked through, about 3–4 minutes.
  • Remove the dish from the oven. Stir in the seared chicken and cranberries, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and return to the oven uncovered.
  • Bake for an additional 10–12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and cheese has melted.
  • Top with sliced green onion, pumpkin seeds, and chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
