A flavourful, nutrient dense dinner that provides lean protein and spices that support digestion and promote relaxation (serves one).
Ingredients:
- 200g chicken breast
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 200°C (400°F) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the chicken.
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels to ensure the seasoning sticks. Rub the cinnamon, nutmeg, and olive oil all over the chicken, making sure the spices are evenly distributed on both sides.
- Roast the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Put it in the preheated oven and roast for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F)).
- Optional: While the chicken is roasting, peel and chop sweet potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a pot of water for about 10-15 minutes or until soft and easily pierced with a fork. Drain the water, then mash the sweet potatoes with a bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Serve: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing. Serve alongside the mashed sweet potatoes for a complete, warming meal.
