Ingredients
Scale
- 1 grilled chicken breast, sliced
- 1 small sweet potato, halved and roasted
- 1 tsp butter or vegan butter, for topping
- Zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 8–10 asparagus spears
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C (400F). Roast the halved sweet potato cut-side down for 30-35 minutes until tender. After baking, add a pat of butter and a sprinkle of chives for extra flavor.
- Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a little olive oil. Grill or sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Slice thinly for serving.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add zucchini and asparagus. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until the veggies are just tender and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
