Grilled Herb Chicken and Baked Sweet Potatoes

4 sweet potatoes
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
6 tablespoons of dried mixed herbs (you can use a ready mixture or mix oregano, parsley, cilantro, etc.)
1 garlic clove
2 teaspoons clear honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons light cream cheese
Pepper

Wash the sweet potatoes and place on a baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours or until tender.

Cut three slashes on each chicken breast (making sure not to cut all the way through). Place the herbs, garlic, honey, mustard and olive oil in a blender or food processor and mix until smooth. Rub this mixture over the chicken. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes. If possible leave a little longer so the flavors can really sink in.

Heat a non stick frying pay lightly greased with a little olive oil or non stick spray and cool chicken for approximately 5 minutes on each side or until gold and cooked through.

Cut the sweet potatoes open (just as you would a baked potato) and spoon in a little cream cheese and pepper onto each potato, serve with chicken.

As a Christian mom of 3, I am always finding new ways to help the busy mommy. Our life on our small farm in East Tennessee affords me the opportunity to appreciate the value of hard work, family, and all that has been given to us. As some may know though, life on a farm is always busy. The Busy Moms blog was created as a place to share the lessons I learn for mothers much like myself. It takes a community to raise a family and the blogging community offers this community. Share with me your stories of being a Busy Mom and tips you have found along the way.
