Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Rub mixture all over chicken breasts and place them on half of the prepared baking sheet.
Toss green beans with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Spread green beans on the other half of the baking sheet. Roast chicken and beans for 22-25 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and beans are tender-crisp.
Meanwhile, place sweet potato cubes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 12-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well.
Mash sweet potatoes with Greek yogurt and apple cider vinegar until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Serve chicken breast with a scoop of sweet potato mash and roasted green beans. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
