Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut 2 medium organic orange sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds. Toss the rounds with oil, salt, and pepper and arrange on a sheet pan in a single layer.
- Roast the sweet potato rounds for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until browned on the edges and tender through.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, dice 1 small organic yellow onion, dice 1 organic poblano pepper, dice 2 organic tomatoes, thinly slice 1/4 small head organic green cabbage, mince 2 garlic cloves, chop 1/4 cup cilantro, and juice 1 lime.
- Heat a wide skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the diced onion and diced poblano pepper with a pinch of salt and cook 4 to 5 minutes until softened and lightly colored.
- Add 1 pack ground chicken and the 2 minced garlic cloves. Break the meat up with a spoon and cook 5 to 6 minutes until browned and no pink remains.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and sliced cabbage. Season with salt and pepper and cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes slump into a light sauce and the cabbage becomes tender but not mushy.
- Add half the lime juice and half the chopped cilantro to the chicken mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning so it is bright and savory.
- Arrange the roasted sweet potato rounds in a slightly overlapping line or shallow fan on each plate. Spoon the ground chicken, poblano, tomato, and cabbage mixture over and around the potatoes, leaving some orange edges visible for color contrast.
- Finish with the remaining cilantro and the rest of the lime juice. Serve immediately with Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir if desired.
