Ingredients

For Spanish Sweet Potato Rice

  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 green or red pepper finely diced (I used red)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Honey-Lime Chicken

  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • For Spanish Sweet Potato Rice
  • Cut off each end of the sweet potatoes so they are flat on each side, and spiralize using the 3MM noodle blade or use a Julienne peeler.
  • Working in batches, pulse the sweet potato noodles in the food processor or until they resemble the texture of rice. You should have a scant 3 cups of sweet potato rice.
  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat, add the onion and green pepper. Sautee until soft
  • Add the garlic, chili powder, paprika and cumin
  • Pour the stock and bring to a boil
  • Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook over high heat until all the liquid is absorbed and the sweet potato is tender, about another 5 minutes. Serve with honey-lime marinated chicken.
  • For Honey-Lime Chicken
  • Add all the ingredients to a Ziploc bag and marinate for a few hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade) and grill or broil on high for approximately 6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
