Number 50!!!!!

50. Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and cauliflower

So we are already at 50. I feel like my lead had gone and I need to start cooking more and get ahead. This was a healthy meal that was so good. There was nothing lacking in taste and this was 349 calories!

*1 (1/2lb) sweet potato, peeled and sliced about 1/4 in thick
*1/2 head cauliflower (about 1 lb), cut into medium florets
*2 TBSP Olive oil
*coarse salt and ground pepper
*2 TBSP red-wine vinegar
*4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
*1 cup chicken broth
*2 sprigs thyme
*1/2 TBSP unsalted butter

Preheat oven 450
On baking sheet toss the sweet potato and cauliflower with 1 1/2 TBSP olive oil and season with salt and pepper
Roast until cooked through and browned on one side, about 25 minutes
Transfer to a bowl and gently toss with 1 TBSP vinegar
Meanwhile in a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 TBSP oil over medium low
Season chicken with salt and pepper
Cook until golden and cooked through, 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through
Transfer to a plate and keep warm
To Skillet, add broth, thyme and 1 TBSP vinegar
Cook over medium high heat until reduced by half, 3-5 minutes
Return chicken to coat with sauce
Remove from heat and stir in butter
Serve with veggies

This is one of the best things I have ever made. We all loved it. I think that this is how I am always going to make sweet potatoes!!
