Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Roast Veg

All you need is an oven and 2 baking trays. Pop your sweet potatoes in, and the rest 30 minutes later. Set your oven timer to click off automatically at 55 minutes. Finish what you're doing (e.g. bath time) and your dinner will still be warm when you're ready to eat.

If you're particularly short on time or have kids hanging off you most of the day, you can easily swap out the chicken for BBQ chook and the roast veggies for a side salad. A really healthy, high fibre, nutrient rich option with less steps.
