At the beginning of the week I prepare about 6 sweet potatoes for my wife and me. Sometimes I bake a few and grill a few, just depends on my mood. This recipe calls for baked sweet potatoe. So you can either warm them in the micro or prepare them now by cutting in 1/2 and baking at 375 degrees for 80 minutes.
Fire up your grill or skillet. Put the chicken breasts (2 probably) in the HOT :mad: skillet or over molten briquettes (this way your chicken will not stick). Do not mash or play with the chicken. Grill on each side for 5 minutes each.
Take out your chicken and toss in your asparagus. Using the juices from the chicken for a little lubricant. When the asapargus is a bright green and coated with the juices from the chicken take and plate next to the chicken.
Dont forget about your sweet potatoes! Use parkay spray butter sparingly with a bit of cinnamon (sp?).
Now you have a complete dinner with lots of protein and good carbs!!!:D
