Chipotle Chicken Sweet Potato and Kale Bowls
You know I love my spicy foods, so Chipotle Chicken Sweet Potato and Kale Bowls was such a yummy recipe!
As I was meal planning I knew I wanted to make some sort of healthy bowl with kale.
Kale is a yummy superfood that I don’t use nearly as much as I should.
Sometimes I have a very clear idea of what recipe I want to create.
Other times I am just kind of playing around, winging it in the kitchen.
This time around was the second…and I have to say sometimes those kind are the most fabulous recipes 🙂
How to make Chipotle Chicken Sweet Potato and Kale Bowls
I began by blending up a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in my food processor along with some honey.
Blend that until smooth and use half of it to marinate some diced chicken.
Then I added a cup of sour cream to the food processor and blended that with the remaining chipotle and honey.
This, my friends, will be the sauce to drizzle over top.
After the chicken has marinated for at least an hour, cook it in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat.
Season with a bit of kosher salt and pepper as well.
After 7 minutes or so the chicken will be cooked, simply remove it from the skillet and set aside.
To the same skillet over medium heat add more olive oil, a diced red onion, and two diced sweet potatoes.
The seasonings I added were chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, kosher salt, and pepper.
This will cook for around 9 minutes.
The cumin creates a nice smoky aroma that’s fantastic!
Now in goes 1/4 cup water and a whole bunch of chopped kale, stems removed.
This will look like WAY too much at first, but it cooks down quickly.
.
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and warm it through.
To serve these Chipotle Chicken Sweet Potato and Kale Bowls, drizzle with some of the chipotle sour cream.
Also sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime over top adds an amazing freshness 🙂
