Ingredients:

 

  • Sweet Potatoes- 4
  • Red Bell Pepper- 2
  • Yellow Bell Pepper- 2
  • Scallions- 4
  • Lime- 2
  • Southwest Spice Blend- 2 tsp
  • Chicken Breasts- 24 oz
  • Feta Cheese- 1 cup

1  ROAST SWEET POTATOES.    Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Peel sweet potatoes, then cut into ½-inch cubes. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in oven until tender, about 25 minutes total (we’ll be adding more items to the sheet after 10 minutes).

2  PREP.     Core and seed red and yellow bell peppers, then cut into 1-inch squares. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Zest lime into a medium bowl, then cut into halves.

3 RUB AND COOK CHICKEN.       Add 1 tsp Southwest spice (we sent more) and a large drizzle of olive oil to bowl with lime zest and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel, then add to bowl and rub spice mixture into meat. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in center, 5-6 minutes per side.

4  ROAST BELL PEPPERS.       Once sweet potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Give sweet potatoes a toss and push toward one side of sheet. Add bell peppers to other side of sheet. Return sheet to oven and roast until both are tender, 12-15 minutes more.

5  MAKE JUMBLE.     Once sweet potatoes and bell peppers are done, add to another medium bowl along with scallion whites, feta cheese, and a squeeze of lime. Toss to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and more lime (to taste).

6  PLATE AND SERVE.     Thinly slice chicken. Divide jumble between plates, then arrange chicken on top. Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve.
