Ingredients
  

  • For the Chicken Bites:
  • 1 pound chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Roasted Broccoli:
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Mashed Potatoes:
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or more for desired consistency
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  • Season the Chicken Bites:
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken bites with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the seasoned chicken bites evenly on one side of the baking sheet.
  • Prepare the Broccoli:
  • In another bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Arrange the broccoli on the other side of the baking sheet.
  • Bake the Chicken and Broccoli:
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through, until the chicken bites are cooked through (165°F internal temperature) and the broccoli is tender with slightly crispy edges.
  • Make the Mashed Potatoes:
  • While the chicken and broccoli bake, boil the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes).
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve:
  • Plate the chicken bites, roasted broccoli, and creamy mashed potatoes together. Serve warm for a complete, delicious meal.
