What You’ll Need

Main Ingredients:

• 3 cups cauliflower florets
• 1 large sweet potato, diced into small pieces
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
• 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt to taste
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• Black pepper to taste

Toppings:

• Green onions, chopped
• Feta cheese, crumbled

Buffalo Honey Sauce:

• 4 tablespoons buffalo sauce (mild)
• 2 tablespoons honey

Easy Ranch Coleslaw:

• ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• 1.5 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 bag coleslaw mix

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Veggies: Toss the cauliflower, sweet potato, and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a sheet pan.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken chunks with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and the remaining olive oil. Add the panko breadcrumbs and mix well. Place the chicken on the same sheet pan as the veggies.
4. Bake: Pop the sheet pan into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
5. Make the Sauces: While the sheet pan is in the oven, whisk together the buffalo sauce and honey for the Buffalo Honey Sauce. For the Easy Ranch Coleslaw, mix all the dressing ingredients in a bowl, then toss with the coleslaw mix.
6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the roasted veggies and chicken into bowls. Top with green onions, feta cheese, and a drizzle of the Buffalo Honey Sauce. Serve with a side of Easy Ranch Coleslaw.

Tips for Success

• Use a sharp knife to dice the sweet potato evenly for consistent cooking.
• Feel free to swap out the veggies based on what’s in season or your personal preferences.
• If you like it spicy, use hot buffalo sauce instead of mild.
• For an extra crunch, toast the panko breadcrumbs in a skillet before adding them to the chicken.
