Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

  3. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
Cook the Chicken
  1. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Brush the chicken breasts with BBQ sauce and place them on the grill.
  3. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
