Broiled Bacon-Wrapped Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Watercress image

Broilers vary in heat intensity; move the rack to a lower position if the chicken is browning too quickly, or to a higher rack if too slowly. Remove items from the baking sheet as done, if they're cooking unevenly.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon packed light-brown sugar
2 boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves (about 12 ounces total), each cut into 2 cutlets

4 cups watercress (from 1 to 2 bunches), thick stems removed
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Champagne or white-wine vinegar

Arrange alongside potatoes on sheet, onion side up; season with salt and pepper.
