Spicy mango chicken stuffed sweet potatoes

This is another recipe I got from @busygirlseatclean. Follow them on Instagram!

•2 chicken breast
•1 mango
•1 red bell pepper
•1/8 cup sliced pepperoncinis
•2 sweet potatoes

• Bake sweet potatoes at 350 for 45 minutes. More or less, depending on their size.
• Season chicken with Mrs. Dash chipotle and bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until done. (I didn't have the Mrs. Dash seasoning so I looked up the ingredients and used what spices I did have that are in the chipotle mix. I mixed them all together in a bowl with some lemon juice, then rubbed it on the chicken)
• Dice mango and bell pepper
• Sautée mango, bell pepper and pepperoncinis for 5-8 minutes
• Dice chicken and add to pepper/mango mix
• Slice sweet potato down the middle and stuff with chicken/pepper/mango mixture!

Artichoke and spinach stuffed tilapia

I've been trying to find "cleaner" things to help me get rid of the rest of this baby weight. The first 20 pounds just melted off, but that was it. I just stopped loosing. It has motivated me to try to eat a little healthier and hit the gym too! Time to get it shape! Anyway, this was really good and easy! I got the recipe idea from @busygirlseatclean on Instagram, but changed it up to this.

•4 tilapia loins
•1 cup spinach, chopped
•3 artichoke hearts, chopped (just as much as you want)
•1 tsp minced garlic
•2 wedges of laughing cow Swiss cheese
•Handful of shredded cheese (I used a Mexican blend, any cheese would work)
•Italian seasoning
•Garlic powder
•1/4 cup panko bread crumbs + more to sprinkle on top

•Preheat oven to 400•
•Slice fish length wise to make a sort of pocket.
•Mix all the other ingredients together and stuff inside the fish.
•Place on a cookie sheet lined with foil, and sprayed with Pam.
•Coat the outside of the fish with more bread crumbs, then drizzle with olive oil.
•Bake for 25 minutes.
