Kid tested and approved! I'm always looking for fast, easy food that all of my guys agree on. This meal is almost a unanimous hit. Not all the boys like sweet potatoes, but they all agree the chicken is seconds-worthy.
For the sweet potatoes:
Peel and slice 3 pounds of sweet potatoes
Melt half stick of butter in the microwave, add 1/4 cup of honey to the melted butter, and mix
Pour over the sweet potatoes and stir.
Add dried cranberries. I added a half cup or more because we like the tart flavor with the sweet.
Add 1/4 cup water. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
I've also cooked these in the oven. Cook covered on 350 degrees for about an hour.
For the chicken:
Sprinkle chicken breast sliced into strips with steak seasoning and allow to marinade a bit. I used Longhorn seasoning. It has a bit of a kick to it without making the chicken too spicy.
Then, I pan-fried the chicken in a bit of oil, until done, then tossed them in a mixing bowl.
Once all the chicken was cooked, I threw a half stick of butter and a quarter cup of honey in the pan and allowed it to come to a boil before removing from the heat and pouring over the chicken and mixing.
It's ready to serve!
If you don't want to run out and buy a bottle of seasoning, here's a knock off recipe:

I'll not tell him that. He might expect a payment. LOL
DeleteSounds great! Obviously not intended for anyone on a diet.
ReplyDeleteIt's better on the diet than going through the drive through. But yeah, not a low calorie meal.
DeleteLooks so yummy. I don't use my instantpot often enough.
ReplyDeleteI got mine for Christmas, so I'm still in the testing/learning phase.
DeleteIt looks yummy. My kids will love the chicken, but the sweet potatoes will be up to debate with them.
ReplyDeleteIt was the same here. 2 out of 4 boys don't like sweet potatoes no matter how you slice them.
