Tips

  • Leave out the whole peppers from the chipotle pepper adobo sauce if you want it less spicy.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least two hours, up to overnight.
  • For the sweet potato, cut a flat side so it doesn't rock back and forth when cutting, then cut into half-inch cubes.
  • Use a digital thermometer probe to watch the chicken's temperature while it cooks.
  • You can add hot honey to the cowboy caviar salad for extra sweetness and kick.
