5 tablespoons dark brown sugar

Ingredients

5 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut in 1-inch cubes)
1 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
6 tablespoons olive oil
3 large garlic cloves (minced)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
smoky lime sweet potato
2 large sweet potatoes (peeled)
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice ((I used 1 Tablespoon)
1 teaspoon chipotle chile in adobo (chopped)
1 teaspoon adobo sauce (from can)
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

Mahogany Marinade: Mix sugar, mustard, hoisin sauce, vinegar, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Remove 6 tablespoons for later use. Place cubed chicken in a Ziploc bag and add the remaining marinade; refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. (If making Smoky Lime Sweet Potatoes, start potatoes at this point; chicken will be ready to skewer and cook when potatoes are completed.).
Thread chicken on skewers; discard marinade. Grill skewers, basting with reserved marinade near end of cooking time.
Chimichurri Sauce: Combine cilantro and garlic in food processor. Pulse until chopped. Add oil in a thin stream with food processor running. Pulse in salt and pepper. Set aside.
To serve: Remove chicken from skewers; drizzle with Chimichurri Sauce. Sweet potatoes can also be drizzled with sauce.
Potatoes:.
Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch chunks. Put in a medium saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook 15 minutes or until tender. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water. Drain potatoes, return to pan, and mash with reserved water. (I only used 2 tablespoons of reserved water.).
Add remaining ingredients and mash into sweet potatoes.

Tips:

Use a good quality smoked paprika. This will give the chicken a rich, smoky flavor.
Don't skip the marinade. The marinade helps to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
Preheat your oven to the correct temperature. This is important to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
Broil the chicken for the correct amount of time. Overcooking will dry out the chicken.
Serve the chicken immediately. This will ensure that it is at its best.
Don't forget the sides! The smoky lime sweet potatoes and cilantro chimichurri are the perfect complements to the chicken.
