Ingredients


Preparation

In small bowl, mix together chopped cilantro, olive oil, minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper; set aside. In medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, mustard, hoisin sauce and vinegar. Reserve 2/3 of this mixture. To remainder, add 1/2 cup lime juice and stir in chicken; cover and refrigerate. In heavy saucepan, place sweet potatoes and cover with boiling water.

Cook, covered, over medium high heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking liquid, then drain potatoes in colander.

Return potatoes to reserved cooking water and add butter, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice, cumin, lime zest, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mash potatoes. Thread chicken on 8 bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water. Broil about 6 inches from heat, basting with reserved mahogany sauce until done, about 8 minutes. To serve, divide potatoes among 4 plates; top each with 2 skewers of chicken and drizzle with cilantro chimichurri sauce. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

I'd serve with some crisp green vegetables - It needs the color and texture. Otherwise excellent. Next time I'd also marinate chicken overnight

loved the smoky sweet flavor. The cilantro chimichuri added a nice contrast to the smoky sweet.

I grilled them instead of broiling. The meal was fabulous! A unique combination of flavors.

There are some steps omitted from this recipe, it didn't make sense. The instructions call for some ingredients that aren't on the list, such as butter and olive oil. It is unclear how much to use. Also, for the work involved, the taste just wasn't worth it, and I typically don't mind high maintenance recipes.

Not a real fan of sweet potatoes but this makes them very enjoyable. just the right amount of heat and the hint of lime puts this over the top. Will certainly put this in my regular menu

Fantastic. The sweet potatoes were almost too much. Recommend a smaller portion but would certainly make both again for guests

This turned out great! My picky boyfriend even gave it a 10!

BTW, you need 6 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter (not in ingredient list...I looked it up elsewhere on the net).
