Total Prep Cost: $7.49
Cost Per Meal: Less than $4.00

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
   • Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
2. Roast the Purple Sweet Potatoes:
   • Slice the purple sweet potatoes into even pieces. Place them in a bowl and toss with a bit of oil to coat.
   • Spread the potato slices in a single layer on the lined baking sheet.
   • Roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to start softening them up.
3. Bake the Chicken Tenders:
   • After the potatoes have roasted for 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
   • Season the chicken tenders with salt, pepper, and any other preferred seasoning. Place the chicken on the same baking sheet with the sweet potatoes.
   • Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
4. Assemble the Meal Prep Containers:
   • Once the chicken and potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly before assembling.
   • Evenly divide the roasted sweet potatoes and chicken tenders among four meal prep containers.
   • Optional: Add a handful of fresh spinach to each container for extra greens.
   • Top each serving with 2 tablespoons of Whole30 compliant ranch dressing and sprinkle with crumbled bacon or bacon bits for that classic chicken bacon ranch flavor.

How to Store:

• Seal the meal prep containers with tight-fitting lids and store them in the refrigerator. These meals will stay fresh for up to 4 days, making them a convenient option for lunches or dinners throughout the week.

How to Reheat:

• To reheat, simply microwave each container for 1-2 minutes, or until the meal is warmed through. For the best texture, you can also reheat the chicken and potatoes in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ranch dressing and bacon bits after reheating to maintain their flavor and freshness.
