Cumin & Coriander Chicken with Baked Sweet Potato Halves
The Latin spices in this chicken marinade turn plain chicken into something festive for dinner. Enjoy with a softly baked sweet potato and some smooth guac for lots of dynamic flavors!
Smarts: The smaller you chop your chicken, the more surface area you expose for marinade-absorption. Yum!
