Simple recipes with simple ingredients sometimes make the best meals. That’s how I feel about this Chipotle Chicken & Sweet Potato Skillet recipe.
Meal Prep Tips
- You can easily prep this meal ahead of time by dicing the sweet potatoes and chicken. By having the sweet potatoes and chicken diced ahead of time it will save you time on a busy weeknight.
- I keep a bag of frozen onions on hand because I find it much easier than using a fresh onion each time. You can substitute fresh onion if you prefer and use about 1/4 of an onion.
- You can buy bagged kale that is already chopped. This will save lots of time and it tends to last a bit longer too.
Dressing Options
I tried this recipe with a sauce drizzled on top and without. Honestly, both were delicious and I couldn’t decide which one I preferred so I decided to just give you all the options!
- Drizzle just a bit of olive oil over top of your dish and lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Combine The New Primal BBQ sauce and Tessemae’s Creamy Ranch like I used in my Turkey Veggie Skillet and pour a little over your serving. There is something super awesome about the combo of ranch and bbq sauce!
- Use the Lemon Garlic Salad Dressing from Tessemae’s… you don’t need much at all. Maybe 1-2 teaspoons depending on how you prefer your dressing. I don’t like a ton of sauce on anything I eat 😉
*If you use a dressing do not store your leftover Chipotle Chicken and Sweet Potato Skillet with the dressing on top. Add the dressing after you reheat it.
This recipe is naturally gluten and dairy free and delivers a balanced meal with protein, carbs and healthy fat. It is a fantastic recipe for leftovers, too. You can easily prepare this on a weekend and have lunch for a few days!!
Store in an airtight container and enjoy within 3-4 days.
