Instructions

Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables:
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a large bowl, toss the diced chicken, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and carrot slices with olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, and half of the sweet chili sauce. Make sure everything is evenly coated.

-
Roast the Chicken and Vegetables:
-
Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
-
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.

Finish with Sweet Chili Sauce:

Once the chicken and vegetables are roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the remaining sweet chili sauce over the roasted chicken and vegetables, tossing everything gently to combine.
