Chipotle barbecue chicken with crispy kale & sweet potato
Looking for plant-based? Just replace the chicken with tofu and sauté in the skillet for about 6 minutes. Or you could even go with 1 cup of black beans and just skip the sweet potatoes, to keep your total carbohydrates and calories on track.
If sweet potatoes are not your favorite, or if you are managing kidney disease, replace them with ⅔ cup of whole grain, like whole wheat pasta, brown rice, quinoa, whole grain tortilla (8”), or whole wheat couscous. ⅔ cup of your favorite beans would work here as well!
Not a fan of kale? Replace with your favorite greens, like spinach, collard greens, kohlrabi, bok choy, broccoli rabe, chard, mustard greens, or beet greens.
Choose brands of barbecue sauce with tomatoes as the first ingredient and without high fructose corn syrup.
