Mexican Chicken and Vegetable Recipe in One!

I know I’m totally smitten! My husband and I fell in love at first bite. The blend of flavors here is just spot on delicious. And not only that this is a perfectly nutritious dinner that I feel great about feeding my family.

We eat chicken most nights for dinner so I’m always trying to come up with new recipes so we don’t get bored. This one though is definitely going on repeat. It’s a recipe I could never get tired of.

I mean how could you go wrong here? Chicken along with delicious melody of veggies is seasoned with Mexican spices. Then it’s sautéed and tossed with sweet honey, tart lime and plenty of fresh cilantro.

This colorful blend of sweet potatoes, avocados, corn, tomatoes, and red onion makes me enjoy this chicken dinner just that much more (don’t hesitate to sprinkle on a few more red onions at the end too)!
