Creamy Chicken Traybake with Sweet Potato and Seasonal Veggies
This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners because it feels comforting, but it still stays simple and high in protein.

Simple, unprocessed, and nutritious: The Traybake
A traybake is the perfect way to cook a large amount of unprocessed vegetables and proteins all at once. Sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index than regular potatoes, keeping your blood sugar stable and preventing energy dips. The creamy texture comes from healthy sources, allowing you to enjoy comfort food without the negative effects of heavy cream or sugary sauces.
Variation & Convenience
This is the ultimate busy weeknight recipe. Use whatever veggies you have left in the fridge; bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion work great. For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for cubed tempeh or tofu.
