This meal was created, not on purpose, BUT by having a short amount of time last week. I initially thought I had plenty of time for a bigger meal. I had baked my sweet potatoes early in the day and put them aside, then SH!T changed…. Well, Life happened!! I returned home with nothing cooked fully at 6:15p.m. and meat was already defrosted SO, I threw my veggies in a skillet, added ground chicken, made a quick salad, and added it all to a bowl with Sriracha….. Being completely honest, it was PHENOMENAL and UNEXPECTED!!! I was full for the rest of the night too…Super Heart Healthy and if you are trying to watch your intake for the upcoming short season, then this dish is an absolute must!!!!
