Day 19 - Coconut Chicken and Sweet Potato Fries

Coconut Chicken and Sweet Potato Fries

+Patrice Valentine brought this over on Sunday to share with Karen, S'rae and I.  She had all ingredients for the coconut chicken in a Ziploc bag except the egg and the chicken.  All I had to do for lunch today was dip the chicken in the egg and throw it in the bag and give it a good shake.  Same with the sweet potato fries.  She had them all cut up and the seasoning all ready for us so we just had to put them together and shake.  Her instructions on the Ziploc required that we do burpee's while we did the shaking.  I managed to get in a few, but I was too hungry and needed to get the food cooking!  (: Thanks Patrice, they were great and so easy after all of your prep work.
