Tropical Chicken with Grilled Sweet Potatoes

This yummy recipe comes along just in time for those Labor Day cookouts! 


Tropical Chicken with Grilled Sweet Potatoes 

Ingredients

6 Tbsp fresh lime juice   
3 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced   
6 Tbsp apricot preserves   
6 Tbsp soy sauce   
 1 pound(s) uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast, four 4-oz pieces   
 2 large sweet potato(es), scrubbed and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds   

Instructions

  • Preheat grill.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, ginger, preserves and soy sauce. Set aside 1/2 of the marinade. Add chicken to remaining marinade, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours, turning chicken occasionally.
  • Grill sweet potato slices until tender, about 8 minutes, brushing with reserved marinade as they cook. At the same time, grill chicken until firm and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Yields 1 chicken breast and about 1 cup of sweet potatoes per serving.
