One of my go to Recipes weekly

For those of you who know me I love to learn new ways to cook and modify what's already been done to be even better and tastier while keeping it clean! The is one of my favorite recipes that I use every week. My kids love it because the chicken is so tender and tasty, they also love sweet potatoes more than regular potatoes which BOOM! Bonus for nutritional value! My husband loves the fact that it tastes better than something you can get in a restaurant and you can eat it for 5 days and never get tired of it!

I hope you enjoy it and tweek it to ways your family will love it! Don't forget to stop back often for more exciting recipes and fitness tips and tricks!
