BBQ Butternut Squash Fries with Poco Picante Chicken

BBQ Butternut Squash Fries

Used the process from here but used different flavoring ~ the Epicure BBQ chip seasoning however  you can easily DIY your own BBQ seasoning for this as well I just prefer having the guess work taken out.

DIY BBQ Seasoning


What You Need

• 1/2 cup paprika
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

Poco Picante Chicken

What You Need

• 4-5 Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts

What You Do

• Grease your casserole dish with coconut oil
• Rinse your meat and sprinkle each piece of chicken with 1 teaspoon of the poco picante seasoning
• Bake in the oven at 350F for 30-45 minutes until no longer pink in the middle or if using a meat thermometer the temperature of 165 F is reached when inserted in the middle.

This is one of my favorite meals cause it packs a lot of flavor but is low sodium, low carb and high protein and full of awesome nutrients and ready in under 45 minutes from start to finish most of which the time spent 'cooking 'is very low maintenance so I can be multi tasking other things! 

Have an amazing day!
