BBQ Grilled Chicken and Jacket Sweet Potato

The weather has been warming up and I am dying to use our grill again. We'll be eating with Elvo's parents on Friday and likely having pineapple mahi mahi on Saturday if I can find some spare change to buy a can of pineapple.

(Normally when I have a short week Elvo picks up the grocery tab but since he's between jobs it's just lil' o meeeee. So I'm digging through ingredients and trying to skimp where I can.)

So! You'll need two chicken breasts, thawed, and you'll want to pepper them 30 minutes before grilling. Put a little BBQ sauce on them too.

Have a recipe: Baked Sweet Potato
It calls for yams, but you can use either yam or sweet potato. Remember US friends that yams are often labeled "sweet potatoes" but never the other way around.
Cook it according to the directions, 400 Fahrenheit 45-75 minutes or until it begins to carmelize. When it's 10-15 minutes from done heat the grill. When it's 5 minutes 'till done put your chicken on the grill with some more BBQ sauce. (It's ok, you can clean it later!)

Mix a little nutmeg with some cinnamon with a handful of brown sugar. Slice the jacket potato open and put a spoonful of butter in, followed by the brown sugar mixture.

Enjoy! Maybe add corn as a side.
