Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 9x13 casserole dish with olive oil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of buffalo sauce, ½ cup of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the sauce.
  3. In a large bowl, mix diced sweet potatoes with half of the buffalo sauce mixture, coating them evenly.
  4. Spread the sweet potatoes in the greased dish and roast for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Combine remaining buffalo sauce with chopped chicken and broccoli, tossing until coated.
  6. Layer the chicken and broccoli mixture over the roasted sweet potatoes.
  7. Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and broccoli is tender.
  8. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and broil for 3 to 5 minutes until melted and bubbly.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
