Preparation
Step 1
Cilantro chimichurri sauce:
In small bowl, mix together chopped cilantro, olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
Mahogany sauce:
In medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, mustard, hoisin sauce and vinegar. Reserve two-thirds of mixture.
To remainder, add 1/2 cup lime juice and stir in chicken; cover and refrigerate.
Place sweet potatoes in a heavy saucepan and cover with boiling water. Cook, covered, over medium-high heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup cooking liquid, then drain potatoes in colander. Return potatoes to reserved cooking water and add butter, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and remaining 1½ teaspoons lime juice, cumin, lime zest, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
Mash potatoes. Thread chicken on eight bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water. Broil about 6 inches from heat, basting with reserved mahogany sauce until done, about eight minutes. To serve, divide potatoes among four plates; top each with two skewers of chicken and drizzle with cilantro chimichurri sauce. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
