Roasted Garlic Chicken with Steamed Sweet Potato only 450 cals!

Hiiiii there~

In this posting, I want to share my delicious recipe for you to start a healthy lifestyle, Roasted Garlic Chicken with Steamed Sweet Potato. The combination of the sweetness from sweet potato is very perfect with the sweetness and tasteful of my garlic roasted chicken.  This delicious recipe only takes 450 cals per serving! 

Did you know that sweet potato (especially the violet one) contains a lot of fiber and nutrition! As cited from www.livescience.com, although sweet potato is sweet and creamy enough to be put into pie/cake, surprisingly sweet potato is the nutritious vegetable. 

"Sweet potatoes are high in vitamin A, vitamin B5, B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and, due to their orange color, are high in carotenoids," said San Diego-based nutritionist Laura Flores. Plus, they're fat-free, relatively low in sodium and have fewer calories than white potatoes — although they do have more sugar. 

Sweet potatoes are one of the best sources of vitamin A; a large one contains more than 100 percent of the daily recommended intake, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Vitamin A is an antioxidant powerhouse, and is linked to anti-aging benefits, cancer prevention and the maintenance of good eyesight, according to the National Institutes of Health.

So, why don't we change our habit in eating white rice to eating this super tasty creamy vegetable?
