1) Chipotle Chicken, Veggies, & Brown Rice | Ingredients & Instructions

- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 medium lime, halved, divided
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds total), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 can of chipotles in adobo
- Cooked brown rice, for serving
- 1.5 cup broccoli
- 1.5 cup sugar snap peas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1. Place the juice from the chipotle chiles, adobo sauce, garlic, oil, honey, cumin, juice of half a lime, and salt in a bowl and stir until smooth.
2. Place the chicken, sweet potato, and red onion in a large zip-top bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat everything in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
3. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425°F.
4. Place the chicken and the vegetables on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until the chicken registers 165°F in the thickest part of the meat not touching bone and the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized, 30 to 35 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven, squeeze the remaining lime half over the chicken and vegetables, and let cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve over rice.
