Equipment

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 medium sweet potato limit quantity to 40g/person if on low FODMAP
3 cups lettuce of your choice
½ bell pepper (red and/or green)
1 teaspoon oil of your choice or lard for the pan

Optional (only for those who are not dairy free and those who are not on whole30 or paleo diets) :

¼ cup sheep cheeze like Ossau-Iraty or any other type of lactose free cheese

For the dressing:

1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 390° F (200° C). Peel the sweet potato and cut it into ½ an inch thick rounds. Place the sweet potato slices on a baking tray. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until sweet potato slices are tender.
In the meantime, cut the chicken breasts into bite sized cubes and cook them in a pan with a little bit of fat of your choice (oil, lard...)
Rince the bell pepper (peel it if you want) and cut it into small pieces.
Put the lettuce, bell pepper, cooked chicken and optional cheese cut in cubes in a bowl.
Prepare the dressing by whisking the olive oil, vinegar and sea salt together in a small bowl. Then pour it over the salad. And stir until the mixture is evenly coated in dressing. Serve with the now cooked sweet potato slices. And voilà!
Bon appétit !
