Recipe Notes

*To make the sweet potato rice, spiralize a large sweet potato (peel first). Place the noodles into a food processor and pulse until made into rice-like bits. Place in a large skillet with 1/2 cup chicken broth and let simmer for 5-7 minutes or until sweet potato fluffs up and softens like rice.
