Phase: 2
2 tsp. oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
4 tsp. Caribbean jerk or blackening seasoning ()
1 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
2 bay leaves or 1/2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1-1 1/4 lbs.)
1 lime
1 15 1/2 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 tsp. salt, or to taste
1. Heat a large deep skillet. Add oil, then onion. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in sweet potato. Sprinkle 2 tsp. seasoning mix over the veggies; cook for 1 minute. Add broth and bay leaves (or Old Bay). Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
2. Preheat broiler. Sprinkle remaining 2 tsp. seasoning over both sides of chicken. Coat with cooking spray. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat til chicken is cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes on a side. You can also do this in a grill pan or even a skillet.
3. Grate enough lime zest to measure 1/2 tsp.; cut lime into wedges. Stir zest, black beans and salt into the sweet potato mixture. Continue cooking for 4 to 5 minutes til potatoes are tender. If bay leaves have been used, remove them before serving. Transfer sweet potato mixture to four plates; top with chicken and serve with lime wedges.
Garnish with Pickapeppa Sauce, mango chutney, plain yogurt or chopped cilantro, if desired.

Comments: Here is something I made for dinner tonight from Eating Well Magazine. It was terrific and done in less than 40 minutes. I had some homemade blackening and used Cajun instead of jerk. I sauteed some fresh spinach to go with it - all the good colors on the plate. It looked great!!! Enjoy!
