Pulled Peach Chipotle BBQ Chicken...the outcome

The BBQ turned out really really great. I ended up toasting and buttering Nick's bun and I used a 100 cal sandwich thin. On the side we had sliced tomato from my garden and sliced cucumber-both with some fresh cracked sea salt sprinkled on top. We also had my favorite roasted sweet potatoes. They are amazing. I actually learned this recipe from a people magazine and just kicked it up a notch. Recipe is below.



Lemon Molasses Sweet Potatoes

1 large sweet potato
olive oil
salt
black pepper
cinnamon
1 lemon
1/4 cup maple syrup

Peel and chop potato and put pieces in a small roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cinnamon, and toss. Cover with foil and cook for 15 mins on 350. While cooking, whisk together lemon and syrup. Pull out potatoes and drizzle half of lemon and syrup mixture on top and toss. Place back in oven, uncovered, for another 10-15 mins. Check potatoes and if they are soft enough remove from oven and drizzle the rest of the lemon and syrup mixture on top, toss, and maybe sprinkle a little more salt on top.
Serve and enjoy!
