Recipe type: Sandwich
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 3 sandwichs
Ingredients
  • 1 large, "fat" sweet potato, peeled and sliced longways into six- ¼" thick slices
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • 3 thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts, (4-6 ounces each)
  • ¼ cup Franks Red Hot Sauce, plus more for topping
  • 1 Tbsp. clarified or regular butter
  • ¼ cup paleo mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp fresh dill
  • Toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Carefully cut the peeled sweet potato into six- ¼" thin slices, and lay them out on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread them out so they aren't touching.
  3. Drizzle the sweet potatoes with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Coat all sides evenly.
  4. Roast the sweet potatoes for 30-40 minutes total, flipping them over at 15-20 minutes. You want the edges to be slightly black and crispy, not soggy.
  5. Meanwhile, coat the chicken breasts in a mixture of Franks Red Hot Sauce and melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. You can roast the chicken in the oven with the sweet potatoes when you flip them, for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
  6. To make the paleo ranch dressing, combine paleo mayonnaise, onion power, garlic powder, fresh dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  7. To assemble, top a sweet potato bun with lettuce, ranch sauce, tomato, and onion and chicken. Feel free to drizzle more hot sauce on the chicken!
  8. Tip: to keep the sweet potato buns firm and crispy, layer the sandwich so the ranch and tomato are not directly touching the buns.
