Sweet Potatoes are YUMMY! And this is a very simple recipe (no Paula, not a one but a two!). It is simply another way to make chicken, (love the addition of the honey as I always do), and sprinkling with olive oil instead of oil is just that much better.

I Have A Fire In My Kitchen - This is not a "kosher" cookbook though the majority of recipes in the Shrek Cookbook can be used as is, or with just a few sane and healthy substitutions, can be kept kosher.
