Casserole
  • 2 lbs chicken breasts boneless and skinless cut into cubes
  • 5 medium sweet potatoes cut into small cubes
  • 2 broccoli heads cut into small florets
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

  • 9x13 casserole dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and spray a 9x13 casserole dish with oil.
  2. In a small bowl, combine buffalo sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes with half of the buffalo sauce mixture until all of the sweet potato is covered.
  4. Add the sweet potato to the baking dish and roast in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway. Make sure the potatoes cook through.
  5. Add the chicken and broccoli to the same large bowl, add the rest of the buffalo sauce, and combine well to coat the ingredients.
