- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp rosemary
Optional Ingredients
- ½ cup shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Cube the chicken and sweet potato, and halve the Brussels sprouts. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a baking dish, mix the cubed chicken, sweet potato, halved Brussels sprouts, dried cranberries, chicken broth, and rosemary until evenly incorporated.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the chicken to cook through completely.
- Add Cheese Topping (Optional): Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top, then return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
