Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 9x13 casserole dish.
  2. Chop chicken and sweet potatoes into small, even cubes. Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets.
  3. In a small bowl, mix buffalo sauce, avocado oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cubed sweet potatoes and half of the buffalo sauce mixture, tossing until evenly coated.
  5. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the casserole dish and roast for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Add chopped chicken and broccoli to the remaining buffalo sauce mixture in the bowl, tossing to coat.
  7. Layer the chicken and broccoli mixture over the roasted sweet potatoes in the casserole dish.
  8. Bake the casserole for an additional 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
