Moroccan Chicken with Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are especially popular in the fall as they are a big part of the Thanksgiving tradition. But we don’t limit ourselves to just the fall as these are naturally sweet vegetables that are also some of the most nutritious vegetables around (loaded with vitamin A).

So while the sweet potatoes play a starring role in this Moroccan Chicken recipe you’ll also find a sexy co-star in Ras el Hanout. We love this Moroccan style curry as it provides a complex flavor sensation that’s also perfectly balanced.

We like this as a quick and easy meal that's also healthy and on the table in less than 30 minutes. In addition to being a great source of vitamin A this meal is also high in protein and low in sodium and saturated fat.

Ingredients:

2 large sweet potatoes, cubed
2 tsp Ras el Hanout
8 oz chicken breasts, boneless
3 tsp olive oil
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 oz chicken broth
1 tbsp honey
Juice from ½ lemon
8 green olives, pitted or whole
2 tsp cilantro

Directions:

Boil the cubed sweet potatoes in water for 15 minutes or until tender
Using the Ras el Hanout seasoning evenly coat your chicken breasts
Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a large frying pan
Add the chicken to the skillet and brown the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden
Remove the chicken from the pan and set to the side
Add the onion and garlic to the large skillet and cook for 5 mins until translucent
Add the chicken broth, honey, lemon juice and olives and the chicken to the pan
Turn the heat down to simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until the sauce is syrupy and the chicken cooked
Drain the potatoes and mash them with the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil
Slice the chicken breast into slices (not too thin)
Serve the chicken over the mashed sweet potatoes and top with the remaining sauce and cilantro
