Ingredients:

• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 2 medium yams
• 3 large carrots
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary (optional)

Instructions:

1. Begin by washing your yams and carrots thoroughly under cold water.
2. Cut the yams and carrots into roughly 1-inch cubes. If you prefer, you can leave the peels on for additional texture and fiber.
3. Place a large pot of water on the stove top and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, carefully add the cubed yams and carrots. Boil for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until they're just starting to soften.
4. While you're waiting for your vegetables to cook, move on to preparing your chicken. Rinse off the chicken breasts under cold water, pat them dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
5. Heat up a large pan on the stove top with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until they're nicely browned and fully cooked through (about 6 to 8 minutes on each side).
6. By this time, your yam and carrots should be done. Drain the water and transfer them to a serving plate.
7. Once the chicken is done, slice it and arrange it on the same plate with your cooked yam and carrots. Serve warm.
8. Optional: garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for a touch of added flavor and presentation.
