Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

Protein & Marinade:

• 2 organic bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts)

• Juice + zest of 1 lime

• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ tsp smoked paprika

• ½ tsp Baja Gold mineral salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

Vegetables:

• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed

• 1 ½ cups broccoli florets

• 1 small red onion, sliced

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• ¼ tsp garlic powder

• Salt + pepper to taste

Optional Base:

• 1 cup cooked quinoa (or cauliflower rice)

Citrus Drizzle Sauce: (Optional but highly recommended)

• Juice of ½ orange

• Juice of ½ lime

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp dijon mustard

• ½ tsp maple syrup (optional)

• Pinch of Baja Gold salt + black pepper

Whisk all ingredients until emulsified. Drizzle over the finished dish or serve on the side.

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   Mix marinade ingredients in a bowl. Coat chicken well. Let sit for 30 mins minimum (up to 12 hours chilled).

2. Prep Veggies:
   On a parchment-lined sheet pan, toss sweet potato, broccoli, and red onion with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Add Chicken to Pan:
   Nestle chicken pieces among veggies. Pour any extra marinade over top.

4. Roast:
   Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35–40 minutes or until chicken is golden and cooked through, and vegetables are tender and caramelized. Flip vegetables halfway.

5. Cook Quinoa (Optional):
   While everything roasts, prepare quinoa according to package directions and fluff with a fork.

6. Assemble & Serve:
   Spoon veggies and chicken over a bed of quinoa if using. Drizzle with the citrus sauce and garnish with extra rosemary or microgreens.
