Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breasts
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 4 cups kale chopped
Seasoning
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp rosemary

- In the last 5 minutes of roasting, add the kale to the baking sheet, ensuring it is lightly coated with olive oil to prevent drying.
