  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken and sweet potatoes. Toss gently to coat.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes and chicken in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the pans from the oven. Toss the sweet potatoes and add the broccoli to the vegetable pan. Drizzle the broccoli with a little olive oil and season lightly.
  • Return everything to the oven and continue cooking for about 5–10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes.
  • Assemble the Hot Honey Chicken Bowls by dividing the sweet potatoes, broccoli, chicken, and turkey ham among serving bowls.
