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 slices bacon (about 4 ounces total)
1/2 medium red onion, cut into 8 wedges
4 cups watercress (from 1 to 2 bunches), thick stems removed
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Champagne or white-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heating element. Place sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer and sprinkle with brown sugar. Wrap each cutlet with a bacon slice; tuck onion between bacon and chicken. Arrange alongside potatoes on sheet, onion side up; season with salt and pepper.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. The sweet potatoes were roasted to perfection. I will definitely be making this again!
