6 Quick Chicken Recipes
Chipotle-Glazed Roast Chicken with Sweet Potatoes
Makes: 6 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
4 sweet potatoes (10 ounces each), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
4 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, plus additional to taste
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 pounds), rinsed and patted dry
Chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss the sweet potatoes in the olive oil and scatter on the bottom of a roasting pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the chilies, garlic, honey, vinegar, salt, cumin, and cinnamon to make a paste. Rub the paste evenly over each breast.
3. Place the chicken breasts on top of the sweet potatoes and roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 25 to 30 minutes. Serve garnished with cilantro if desired.

4/16/2013 01:48:22 AM Report AbuseI am going to give this recipe a try later this week. Sounds great and pretty healthy as well. I found some more great healthy recipes at http://dietandsugar.com/100-healthy-eating-recipes-that-will-help-you-live-longer/ as well.
4/9/2013 06:14:20 AM Report AbuseThis was pretty good, I guess I should've read the comments first because the sweet potatoes could've been cooked a little longer. However, I used chicken breast tenders and they were cooked perfectly at 25 minutes. So maybe I'll cut the sweet potatoes a little smaller next time.
1/31/2012 07:26:31 PM Report AbuseThis was so freakin good. If u wanna take some of the heat away cut the chiles open and scrape the seeds away. This recipe doesn't call for any seasoning on the chicken itself so it was kinda dry. Make extra chile mixture and dip the chicken in it to coat the whole thing....it was sooo yummy. Very simple too!
6/30/2010 12:36:05 PM Report AbuseI made this last night for my boyfriend and it was delicious! The sweet potatoes need to be shook a few times before you put the chicken in so they don't burn on the bottom. :)
6/9/2010 10:17:56 AM Report AbuseIf the sweet potatoes were cooked longer this would be perfect. Next time I'm adding more honey so it's not as killer spicy.
5/18/2010 08:22:59 AM Report AbuseEasy, healthy, spicy and good. I doubled the amount of recommended rub and my mouth was on fire! Next time I plan to remove the seeds from the chipotles while taking it easy on the rub. I seasoned the potatoes with chili powder and salt. They weren't fully cooked and could have benefited from more time or smaller cuts and maybe a splash of lime after cooking. The canned chipotle peppers in adoboe sauce were a little tricky to find. They were in the Goya section of the Pasta aisle.
