Spicy Oat Crusted Chicken and Sweet Potato Fries

So what happens when you need to make something new because your taste buds are just bored? You get a little creative! I had always seen people making chicken different ways and since oats and chicken are both budget friendly and super versatile...spicy oat crusted chicken is what we came up with! As an added side, I wanted some sweet potatoes but did not want the same old thing so I decided to make sweet potato steak fries.

Spicy Oat Crusted Chicken


Ingredients:

1lb chicken breast, cleaned, cut and portioned
2 cups instant oats
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs


Pre heat oven to 375
In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients and spices and set aside. In another bowl, place eggs in and beat eggs. Now take your chicken breast, coat with egg, and then place in your oat mixture and place on your pan that has already been coated with olive oil. Repeat this step with all the chicken breasts, spray with olive oil and place in the oven. Cook for approximately 30 minutes.

Sweet Potato Steak Fries

Ingredients:

2 large sweet potatoes
Seasoning salt
Olive oil

You can pre cook sweet potatoes in the microwave if you choose to (it makes them easier to slice) for a few minutes. But once done, slice sweet potatoes in long strips, spray with olive oil and sprinkle seasoning salt and pepper over. Place in oven at 400 degrees and cook for approximately 30-40 minutes depending on thickness of sliced potatoes and desired level of crispiness!

Both served together make for a super tasty meal, and one that is loaded with super health ingredients to fuel your body the right way.

Enjoy!!
