Chicken Nuggets and Sweet Fries

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into sticks
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 1/4 cups panko bread crumbs
• 3 chicken breast halves (1 1/2 lb.), cut into chunks
• 2/3 cup honey mustard

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with oil, salt and cumin. Spread on an oiled baking sheet.
2. Place bread crumbs in a shallow pan or pie plate. In a large bowl, toss chicken chunks with salt and pepper. Stir in honey mustard to coat thoroughly. Place chicken chunks, several at a time, into panko and press on all sides to adhere. Spread on an oiled baking sheet.
3. Bake sweet potatoes and chicken about 20 minutes, turning occasionally with a metal spatula. Increase heat to 450°F. Remove chicken after 5 minutes, once it's golden and cooked through; tent with foil to keep warm until ready to serve. Cook sweet potatoes until golden brown and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes longer.
