Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 scallions, trimmed
1 small bunch cilantro, tender stems and leaves separated
1 tablespoon jerk seasoning
1 small clove garlic
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces
1 1/2 pounds white sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 radishes
1/2 small pineapple
Habanero hot sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the scallions, cilantro stems, jerk seasoning, garlic, lime zest and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a food processor. Pulse, scraping down the processor a few times, until a coarse paste forms. Toss the chicken with the paste in a medium bowl.
  • Lay out four 16- to 18-inch-long sheets of foil. Divide the sweet potatoes among the foil and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss well. Arrange the potatoes in the middle of the foil and top with the chicken. Bring the two short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to form a packet.
  • Grill the foil packets, turning once, until the chicken and potatoes are cooked through and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the salsa: Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and radishes; transfer to a medium bowl. Peel, core and chop the pineapple; add to the bowl. Add the lime juice, a few shakes of hot sauce and a pinch each of salt and pepper; toss well.
  • Carefully open the foil packets. Top with the pineapple salsa.

CHILE SWEET POTATOES



Chile Sweet Potatoes image

The chef Rick Bayless offers a wonderful recipe for sweet potatoes glazed with an ancho chile paste in his book "Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen." Instead of making the paste, I make a thinner glaze with canned chipotle and some of the adobo they're packed in. The glaze makes a spicy contrast to the sweet potatoes. You can make this recipe vegan by using light brown sugar instead of honey.

Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 1h

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 garlic cloves, green shoots removed
Salt to taste
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, seeded
2 tablespoons adobo sauce from the chiles
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground cloves (1 clove)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth or water
1 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons honey (or use light brown sugar)
1 tablespoon finely chopped orange zest
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 large sweet potatoes about 3 pounds, scrubbed
Chopped cilantro for garnish optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish. Place the garlic, salt, chipotles and adobo sauce, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, broth, orange juice and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth. Strain into a large, wide bowl, and stir in the orange zest.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4-inch lengths. If the sweet potatoes are fat, cut the pieces in half lengthwise into wedges. Add to the bowl, and toss with the adobo mixture until coated. Transfer to the baking dish, then pour on the liquid from the bowl. Drizzle on the oil, and cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven until tender. Raise the heat to 425 degrees, uncover the sweet potatoes and baste with the liquid in the pan. Continue to bake, uncovered, until the sweet potatoes are thoroughly tender and glazed and any sauce remaining in the pan is thick. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
