sweet potato and chicken hash

When it comes to breakfast, try and think outside of the box. Break free from what you think a “traditional” breakfast is supposed to be. Most cereals are loaded with sugar and have ingredients that you can’t even pronounce. Just having a piece of toast is satisfying for about 5 minutes and has zero protein, healthy fats or veggies. Sure pancakes and waffles sound delicious but about an hour or so after eating them your blood sugar rapidly declines and you are left feeling sluggish and craving more sugar.

Breakfast will become an easier to meal to prep for yourself if you either have leftovers from dinner or have a nontraditional breakfast. This sweet potato and chicken hash is just that, outside the box. If you want you can top it with an egg or some sliced avocado. You can also put the hash of a bed of baby spinach. Double the recipe so that you and your kids can enjoy it before school and work to keep them and you satisfied throughout the entire day. Make sure you buy ground chicken breasts. If you just buy ground chicken god only knows what else is in there. Enjoy!
