Sheet Pan Chicken, Sweet Potato & Broccoli
This is one of those meals that makes me feel like I’ve got my life together—simple, nourishing, and actually delicious. The chicken breast brings in that protein punch, which helps with muscle recovery and keeps me full longer (bless). Sweet potatoes and broccoli are a vitamin-packed duo, loaded with vitamin A and C to support immunity, skin health, and energy. And thanks to a little drizzle of olive oil and all that fiber, it’s a win for heart health too—less inflammation, better cholesterol, and a happy gut. This one’s on repeat in my house—easy to prep, easy to love.

Ingredients:
  • 10 ozs Chicken Breast (sliced)
  • 1 Sweet Potato (medium, peeled and cubed)
  • 1 1/2 cups Broccoli (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tbsps Parsley (chopped)
Instructions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken, sweet potato, and broccoli with the oil, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Spread everything on the baking sheet in a single layer. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  3. Divide evenly between plates and top with parsley just before serving. Enjoy!

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
