Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 375F.
- Next, mix up the chicken marinade sauce by adding 1 tbsp of dijon mustard, one packet of stevia, a dash of sea salt, and 1 tsp of curry powder to a mixing bowl. Stir.
- Add the chicken breast to the mixing bowl and coat it with the marinade sauce.
- Add the chicken breast to a glass baking dish and set it aside as you prepare the cajun style sweet potatoes.
- To prepare the homemade cajun spice mix, add the following spices to a mixing dish: 1 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp thyme, 1/4 tsp rosemary, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Mix together.
- Next, prepare the sweet potato by chopping off the ends, then cut it vertically straight down the middle (watch your fingers!).
- Spread the coconut butter or coconut oil over the inside of the sweet potato, then sprinkle with the cajun spice mix.
- Add the sweet potato to a baking sheet (you can cover the baking sheet with tin foil to reduce clean up), then add it to the pre-heated oven for 45 minutes.
- Since the chicken only takes 35 minutes to bake, wait for 10 minutes before adding the chicken to the oven.
- While you wait for the food to bake, clean up, and give your loved ones a kiss (including your dog). Then prepare the side of greens by adding a handful of baby spinach to a plate.
- For the salad dressing, top the spinach with 1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Once the timer goes off, remove the chicken and sweet potato from the oven and add them to the plate with the spinach. Take a bite and yell, DAMN that's good!
