This recipe combines tender chicken skewers with a vibrant cilantro sauce and creamy spiced sweet potato mash for a delightful meal.
Combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, hoisin sauce, and juice of one lime in a mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely for an even marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a Ziploc bag and pour in the marinade. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Massage the marinade into the chicken for better flavor absorption.
Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers and discard the used marinade.
Soak wooden skewers in water beforehand to prevent burning on the grill.
Grill the chicken skewers over medium heat, turning occasionally, until fully cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
Brush the chicken with reserved marinade during the last few minutes for extra flavor.
In a food processor, blend the cilantro, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Add a splash of lime juice for a tangy twist.
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then boil in a saucepan until tender, about 15 minutes.
Cut the potatoes into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Mash the cooked sweet potatoes with butter, lime juice, chipotle powder, and cumin until smooth.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more chipotle for extra heat.
Serve the grilled chicken skewers drizzled with cilantro sauce alongside the spiced sweet potato mash.
Garnish with extra cilantro leaves for a fresh presentation.
