Casseroles are typically easy one dish recipes, but they hardly ever keep together for an appetizing looking picture. So despite how it looks, this recipe turned out pretty yummy. It is pretty basic with just chicken, Brussels, broccoli, Italian seasoning, and a sweet potato mash, so if you like all of those ingredients then you will enjoy this recipe; it tastes just like it sounds. If you end up trying this one out, don't skip out on adding salt to taste! That is definitely needed for this simple casserole recipe.

Italian Chicken Casserole 
Ingredients:
  • 1 Large sweet potato (I used two sweet potatoes)
  • 2 Tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ Small yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 Clove Garlic (minced)
  • 8 boneless chicken thighs cubed (2-3 pounds) (I used chicken breasts)
  • 1 Head broccoli
  • 2 Cups Brussels sprouts (halved) (I used 1lb of Brussels)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • Salt, to taste

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Peel and chop the sweet potato into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for until fork tender (20-25 minutes).
  3. In a pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Add the diced onion to the pan and cook until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook and additional 1-2 minutes. Toss in the cubed chicken and cook until no longer pink (10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove the stem of the head of broccoli, keeping only the florets. Trim and halve the brussels sprouts. Toss the broccoli and brussels sprouts into the chicken, and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove the pan from heat.
  5. To prepare the sauce, add the roasted sweet potatoes, coconut milk and remaining 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning to a high speed blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Add salt, to taste.
  6. Scoop the chicken mixture into a well-greased 8x11 glass baking dish, leaving any liquid in the pan. Pour the sweet potato sauce evenly over the chicken. Bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Let the casserole sit 10 minutes before serving.
