Spicy Maple chicken with mashed sweet potatoes & roasted green beans

1 serving prepared

Here's what you get:

Sweet potato

Panko brand crumb (not used)

Sour cream

Maple syrup

Chicken breast

Fry easoning

Green bean

Chili flake

Substitution:

Parmesan

The sweet potatoes:

I steamed mine over high heat for 10 minutes before mashing. This eliminates the need for additional salt and the potatoes don't lose thier flavor.

The protein:

The panko wasn't used so this went fairly quick. The parmesan mixes well with the fry seasoning. I didn't add any additional salt like the instructions call for because cheese was used. The cut of chicken cooks quickly as well since it is a smaller portion than store packaged meats.

The green beans:

I should have steamed these as well, in my smaller oven they tend to go extra wrinkly even with the short cooking time.

The sauce:

This didn't take much effort you just put some of the chili flakes and salt in the syrup, stir and set it aside.

The plate:

This one was a little confusing flavor-wise. I've done mashed sweet potatoes with a sweet flavor before so it was fine in this dish too.

Putting the maple chili sauce on the chicken however, was a little odd for me. It wasn't bad, just not as appealing as other dishes that have a sweet component. I'm counting this meal as "tried something new" and leaving it at that.

Overall the meal was really easy to put together and could be done while multitasking.

Cheese tortilla party

Making: Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder 30 Grams butter powder 419 grams hot water Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked. Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form. The plate! - Kris
