I’ve recently committed to trying to incorporate more sweet potatoes into my diet. I grew up eating sweet potatoes. They were always prepared in the traditional, soul food form. I’m not a huge fan of sweet foods. I pretty much gave up sweet potatoes for that reason. I decided to test out this recipe because bowls make meal prep very easy.
The cayenne pepper, paprika, and cinnamon give the dish a nice, savory flavor. I squeezed a small slice of lemon over the bowl immediately prior to eating. Delicious! It makes the chicken taste even juicier.
