Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ΒΊ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the chicken breasts on the parchment. Drizzle with oil and then sprinkle on seasonings. Bake chicken for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.Spread brussels sprouts onto one half of the second baking sheet. On the other half, spread out the sweet potatoes. Drizzle with oil, add seasonings, and toss to coat well. Bake 40 minutes, removing halfway to toss the veggies for even cooking.Meanwhile, add all of the ingredients for the peanut sauce in a mason jar. Shake thoroughly until well-combined.
