    Chicken, bacon, and sweet potatoes combine oh-so-well in a myriad of flavorous ways. From casseroles to risotto, from creamy soups to basic hashes and more complex skillets, any meal made from these three basic ingredients will never let you down.

    And if you have ever had the chance to indulge in a hefty serving of Paleo chicken, bacon, and sweet potato pie, then you know exactly what we are talking about. No matter how it is baked, cooked, fried, or grilled, it is sure to be a moreish delight!

    One of the best tricks for grilling sweet potatoes, or roasting them, for that matter, is to parboil them. This ensures that the outside stays crispy, while the inside is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

    All it takes is a short 4-5 minutes in a pot of boiling water and a quick cold water bath as preparation before grilling. Consequently, pre-boiling also makes it easier to thread the sweet potatoes on your skewers.

    As this entire meal can be made in less than 30 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to think about a green side salad - may we suggest one with tomatoes and spinach?

    And for dessert on a special night, let's not forget that sweet potato can be magically transformed into chocolatey sweet potato brownies. They are a real crowd-pleaser and the last course that should never be ignored.
