Ingredients:

1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
3 sweet potatos
600g
2 red onions
320g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g
2 tbsp mustard
30g
2 tsp lemon juice
10g
1 lb chicken breasts
450g
2 cups spinach
60g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.
3. Sweet Potato and Onion Prep: Place the cubed sweet potatoes and sliced red onions on the baking sheet. Drizzle with another light spray of cooking oil.
4. Season the Vegetables: Sprinkle the ground cumin over the sweet potatoes and onions. Toss them gently to ensure an even coating of spice.
5. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, stirring midway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
6. Mustard Sauce: While the vegetables are roasting, in a small bowl, mix the mustard with the lemon juice until well combined. Set aside.
7. Prepare the Chicken: In a large pan, lightly spray with cooking oil and heat over medium-high. Add the chicken strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
8. Combine Ingredients: Once the chicken is fully cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the mustard and lemon juice mixture, making sure the chicken is well coated.
9. Add Spinach: Gradually add the spinach to the pan and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
10. Finish and Serve: Once the roasted sweet potatoes and onions are tender, remove them from the oven. Serve by placing a portion of the roasted sweet potatoes and onions on each plate and top with the mustard-coated chicken and wilted spinach.
11. Enjoy: Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious mustard chicken with cumin sweet potatoes!

Tips:

- Ensure that the sweet potatoes are cut into evenly sized pieces to promote even cooking.

- Mix the mustard and lemon juice thoroughly to create a smooth and consistent coating for the chicken breasts.

- If you prefer a more pronounced cumin flavor, consider toasting the cumin powder briefly in a dry pan before using it on the sweet potatoes.

- Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken breasts have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.

- For an added touch of freshness, you can garnish the dish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley just before serving.

- Serve the dish immediately after cooking to enjoy the textures and flavors at their best.
