Cocoa-Spiced Crispy Chicken with Creamy Sweet Potato Puree and Toasted Pecans
Enjoy a dynamic blend of savory and slightly spicy cocoa-seasoned chicken paired with a smooth, creamy sweet potato puree. This dish is beautifully accented by the crunchy, toasted pecans that add a textural contrast, creating a meal that's as visually appealing as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup mashed Sweet Potato
0.5 oz Pecans
1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Chili Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder, ground cumin, and chili powder.
Lightly coat the chicken breast with the spice mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken.
Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it is crispy outside and fully cooked inside (internal temperature of 165°F).
While the chicken is cooking, warm the sweet potato puree in a small saucepan over low heat until heated through.
In a separate dry pan, toast the pecans over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.
Plate the sweet potato puree as a base, lay the crispy cocoa-spiced chicken on top, and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant interplay of flavors and textures.
