California-Seasoned Chicken with Sweet Potatoes & Spinach

Serve the dish immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat the chicken and sweet potatoes in the oven for optimal crispiness.

For a variation, you can add a sprinkle of feta cheese or toasted nuts for added crunch.

Variations:

For a spicy kick: Add more chili flakes or even a dash of hot sauce to the chicken before cooking.

For a vegan option: Substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh, seasoned in the same way, and use a plant-based balsamic vinaigrette.

FAQ:

Can I use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes? Yes, regular potatoes work well too. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time as they might take a bit longer to cook through.

Can I cook the chicken on the grill instead of in a pan? Absolutely! Grilling the chicken adds an extra smoky flavor. Just make sure to cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Can I make this dish ahead of time? You can prepare the components (sweet potatoes, chicken, and spinach) ahead of time and store them separately in the fridge. Assemble and serve when ready.
