Sweet Potato Chicken

March 3, 2016 by ohyagood Leave a Comment

Sweet Potato ChickenHello again!! My apologies for the lack of content over here these last few weeks. I’ve done a lot of cooking and baking but most of my recipes were flat and uninteresting. On thing I didn’t expect once I started a blog is just because I’m trying new recipes, doesn’t mean they are always going to work and when they don’t, you really want to just make stuff that you KNOW works. So my meatloaf, bolognese and broccoli all went into heavy rotation. Leaving less time for new rocking recipes.

This recipe is a modification on one I’ve been making for years. It’s a real simple recipes that I made with Mexican flavors of cumin, cilantro and lime. I know it’s not rocket science but I was happy with the results and my family enjoyed it too. More to come soon. Promise.
