Do you enjoy chicken patties but don’t want to buy the ones at the store because they are so overly processed that they’re barely even chicken anymore? Then this sweet potato and kale chicken patty recipe may be right up your alley.
Chicken is one of the chief foods of the Paleo diet because it’s a great way to add protein to pretty much any meal – you can even throw it in with your eggs in the morning. Chicken is also just as friendly for lunch as it is for dinner, and the combinations that can be made with chicken are simply endless.
The great part about these patties is that they also contain sweet potatoes, so they’re given a hint of something sweet without relying on sugar or another equally unhealthy additive.
These patties give you ample helpings of both protein and carbs to fill you up while also giving you the energy you need to get through the rest of the day until dinnertime rolls around.
