CLEAN EATING RECIPE CHICKEN WITH PEANUT SAUCE & SWEET POTATOES By Cara Lyons Serves: 4 Hands-On Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 45 minutes INGREDIENTS: 1/4 cup unsalted natural creamy peanut butter 1/4 cup light coconut milk 2 tbsp rice vinegar 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves, plus additional for garnish 1 tbsp raw honey 1 tbsp fresh lime juice 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger 1 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes 1 clove garlic, minced Olive oil cooking spray 12 oz green beans, trimmed 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch chunks 1 red onion, sliced into 1/4-inch slices 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Preheat grill or grill pan (I use a Pampered Chef grill pan for all grilling in the winter, so convenient! Ask Cory Johnson how to get one!) to medium-high or preheat oven to 450ºF. 2) In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, milk, vinegar, 2 tbsp cilantro, honey, lime juice, ginger, soy sauce, pepper flakes and garlic. Set aside. 3) IF ON GRILL: Cut 4, 12 x 16-inch pieces of foil and mist with cooking spray. Divide green beans, potatoes and onion evenly into the center of each piece of foil. Divide chicken and peanut butter mixture between foil pieces, over top vegetables. Bring the short edges of the foil together, then fold inward a few times along each long edge to seal. IF ON GRILL PAN: Just cook on pan 4) Place foil packets directly on the grill or on a large, rimmed baking sheet in the oven. Grill or bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender. (NOTE: Carefully open a single packet to check, then reseal if needed.) Transfer contents of packets to serving bowls and garnish with additional cilantro.
