This was delicious! I gave it 5 stars because hubby said it was the best dinner ever. I served it with black beans, avocado, cilantro, lime, sour cream, and quinoa. With those additions, definitely 5 star! It is really spicy but super delicious. One kiddo scarfed it down, but another said it was too spicy. Next time I will probably bake some chicken separate for the kids. Super easy, healthy and delicious recipe. Thanks for sharing!

If you cut this recipe in half you really need to make the FULL amount of sauce because otherwise it will come out bland. Not bad, but it didn't wow me.

What a delicious recipe! I was searching food.com for a chicken recipe. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and look at the "newest" added recipes instead of the "most popular". Wow! The sweet potatoes were pillowy soft inside and perfectly caramelized out. The chicken was tender and juicy with just enough kick. I will make this again. Thank you Sammy Mae for a different twist to plain old boneless chicken breasts.
