Heading into a new season, a new routine and new school year can take time to adapt, but it is important that we are enjoying better-for-you, nutrient-dense foods like protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and fiber during this time. And even better: I promise this Chicken Fingers & Sweet Potato Fries recipe is super simple to whip up on crazy-busy days.
In a time crunch? I recommend making the Chicken Fingers in advance by coating them in the mixture and then storing them in a freezer bag to take out and bake when you need something quick. I also recommend cutting the sweet potatoes in advance to cut out the prep time.
