Chicken & Sweet Potato Balsamic Spinach Salad

I warned y’all. I’m mesmerized by these Garlic & Cinnamon Sugar Sweet Potatoes…

Was ready for a new lunch in my rotation, so today I crafted this tasty salad: fresh spinach, seasoned and sautéed chicken (you’d never know from the taste that it came from a can!), and a small serving of my newest sweet potatoes recipe here, tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette.

Oh. Yum. Just a little warm and oh so fresh for a cool day.

This was just supposed to be something tossed together to hit my macros, but it’s so good that I’m pretty sure I’m going to add it to the website for future makings in my kitchen.
