My daughter and I are trying to eat healthier, so I am sharing some of the dishes that we are eating each week.
Baked Chicken, Sweet Potato and Black Bean bowl
We tried baked sweet potato for the first time with this dish. Neither me or my daughter liked it much. I doubt well be eating sweet potato again.
In the bowls was:
1/2 cup of Baked Chicken
1/2 cup of black beans
spinach
1/2 cup of baked sweet potato
You can use whatever seasoning you like on the chicken before baking it.
This dinner was 300 calories and 30 carbs.
Do you like sweet potato?
Black beans and sweet potato are one of my favorite combinations. I had purple ones for the first time this week. They were interesting. The Japanese sweet potatoes are my favorite though
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try it again.
DeleteI do like sweet potatoes once in a while. I cut them into fries and roast them like other root veggies. They're good with ranch dressing dip but terrible with ketchup.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that.
DeleteWe love sweet potato sorry you don't like it but the meal looks so healthy!
ReplyDeleteIt was a healthy meal.
DeleteI can't believe you don't like sweet potatoes! I think they are one of the most delicious foods out there. But I don't eat the skins.
ReplyDeleteYeah, just not for me.
DeleteYUM! That would work for me!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it.
Deletethat looks good. We eat a lot more sweet potatoes than regular potatoes (but they're actually not the same family). Butter and cinnamon helps bring out the flavor of sweet potatoes.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat much potato at all.
DeleteI LOVE sweet potatoes. I eat them like fries, or cubed and roasted with other veggies (like squash). Yum!
ReplyDeleteThey're just not for me.
DeleteI love sweet potatoes. In the years that Weight Watchers charged points for sweet potatoes (but not winter squash, I got into he habit of subbing out butternut squash for the sweet potatoes (less sweet, but still...). Perhaps butternut squash would work better for you? Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try butternut squash again too.
DeleteI do like sweet potatoes...we mash it up with butter and a little salt and pepper...but it is a stronger flavored veggie. Did you bake all these ingredients together...or cook the chicken and potatoes separately and then add on the black beans and spinach?
ReplyDeleteI cooked everything separately.
DeleteI love sweet potato! You should try them again
ReplyDeleteI will.
DeleteI do! My daughter makes a great casserole with them!
ReplyDeleteI love a good casserole.
DeleteWow! This looks so good. A great meal for sure.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLooks good. I like sweet potatoes :-D
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try them another way.
DeleteI like to mash the baked sweet potato and ad a bit of smoked mayo for a lovely addition to the rest of the plate.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try them a different way.
DeleteLooks good and healthy. We just had some sweet potatoes cut up and roasted along with some cut up apples, cinnamon and then put walnuts on top. Sweet and tasty it was.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of black beans.
ReplyDeleteI love ❤️ baked chicken and sweet potatoes.
ReplyDeleteYour meal looks good.
ReplyDeleteNo, can't stand sweet potato for some reason, just not my taste and we don't eat black bean either or any beans from a can either....We do have baked beans that come in a tin for a quick meal and have them on toast.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI love sweet potatoes, looks like a healthy meal.
Maybe a baked potato would go better with the chicken. Have a great day and a happy week!
