Chicken Patty and Fries you say??

Who doesn't want a scrumptious meal that can be done in 20 minutes or less? I know I do. Contrary to popular belief, I do not spend hours in the kitchen making my meals. In fact THAT is the every reason why I like this lifestyle. Not much preparation but with just the right ingredients you can produce meals that are flavourful and delightful to the palette.

So here I've taken chicken mince, tomatoe sauce and sweet potatoes to make a meal that even my 4 year old niece would love. 

Chicken Patty with Sweet Potatoe Fries

Ingredients:
1lb sweet potato cut in 1/4" strips
splenda
cinnamon
1lb chicken mince
1/4 cup chopped onions
1tsp seasoning
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs or ground oatmeal
1 whole egg
1/2 cup tomatoe sauce
1/4 cup chopped red and green tomatoes
1 tbsp tomatoe paste, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sweetener or sugar
seasoning of your choice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray, set aside. Place sweet potato strips on baking sheet, mix splenda/stevia and cinnamon in a bowl, sprinkle over potatoes and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked.

While fries are being done, grease another baking sheet or glass baking dish with non-stick spray. Combine chicken mince, onions, salt, breadcrumbs, seasoning and egg in a mixing bowl. Form into round patties (to the size of palm), place on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until patty is cooked through. Mix tomatoes, sauce and seasoning in a bowl, set aside. 

Remove patties and top with salsa and serve with potato fries.
