1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into sticks about 1/4-inch thick
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning, to taste
6 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

creole mustard (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat your grill to high heat and the oven to 450°F
  • Toss the sweet-potato sticks in 1 tsp of the olive oil and 1/2 tsp of Cajun seasoning.
  • Place them in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet so they don't touch each other. Bake the fries for 10 minutes, flip them over, and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until they're tender and starting to brown. Meanwhile, toss the chicken in the remaining olive oil, then sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.

CAJUN SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH YOGURT DIPPING SAUCE



Cajun Sweet Potato Fries with Yogurt Dipping Sauce image

I also belong to the Betty Crocker recipe club and this is one of the recipes that I received. I have made this and it is very good. My husband even liked it, which is unusual because he doesn't like sweet potatoes. The dip is an extra bonus that is good on regular fried as well.
