1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2 -In a 9x13-inch baking dish, add the sweet potatoes, the Brussels sprouts, the garlic, the onion, the paprika, and the cumin.

Step 3 -Drizzle the veggies with 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil and season with the salt and the pepper. Toss well to coat.

Step 4 -Pour the broth over the veggies and cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.

Step 5 -Bake the veggies until they are fork-tender, about 22-25 minutes.

Step 6 -While the veggies are baking, in a large skillet, heat the remaining oil.

Step 7 -Add the chicken pieces, the salt, and the pepper to the oil and sear them until golden-brown on all sides and almost cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8 -Transfer the veggie mixture to a wire rack and stir in the chicken pieces and the cranberries, then sprinkle with the cheese.

Step 9 -Bake the casserole, uncovered, until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the juices run clear, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 10 -Serve the chicken bake garnished with the parsley.
