Comfort food: Chicken & Sweet Potato recipe #ChickenDotCa

January 29, 2014 by Wendy S

I’m a Brand Ambassador!Chicken Farmer - Brand Ambassador

I’m very excited to be have been selected to be a Chicken Farmers of Canada Brand Ambassador for 2014!  The past 2 years have been amazing and now that the Chicken Farmers have teamed up with SJ Consulting the fun will continue!

As in past years, I’ll be sharing everything chicken — chicken recipes, chicken safety information, chicken contests and more chicken!  It really is a perfect fit since we eat so much chicken already.

Focus on Health

One of the things that I really love about the Chicken Farmers of Canada is how focused they are on health — health of their chickens and health of their consumers!  They have a whole section on their website dedicated to “Health”!  The article on “Tips for Making Better Choices” has really helped me since I started on my journey to a better me. Understanding what I’m putting in my body is key to staying healthy!

Finding Healthy Choices

The Chicken Farmers have thought of everything!  Since they have so many amazing recipes listed on their site, the “Advanced Search” makes find recipes so easy.  You can search by ingredients and you can narrow your search by different types of recipes depending on your nutritional focus: Gluten Free, Diabetic Friendly, High Fibre, Lower Sugar, Lower Carbs, Lower Fat, Lower Sodium, Lower Calories.

A little something to warm you up — Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

To start the year off right, I’m sharing a healthy, easy chicken recipe that will be loved by everyone!

It’s a short list of ingredients:

2 tablespoons whole-grain or Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
1 1/2-2 pounds boneless skinless chicken
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large onion, cut into 1-inch wedges

And in just a few steps, you’ve got a great meal!

Directions:

  1. Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
  2. Combine mustard, thyme, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl; spread the mixture evenly on chicken.Chicken and Sweet Potatoes
  3. Toss sweet potatoes and onion in a bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the vegetables on it. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables.Chicken and Sweet PotatoesChicken and Sweet Potatoes
  4. Return the pan to the oven and roast, stirring the vegetables once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh registers 165°F, 30 to 35 minutes.Chicken and Sweet Potatoes
