You may be asking, "What's a wasakaka?" This savory Dominican sauce is made by blending herbs with garlic, olive oil, and hot chiles. Our version uses oregano, roasted red peppers, and fiery sambal paste for an herbaceous sauce that's just the right balance of sweet and spicy. Try it next to these roasted sweet potato fries and fresh cucumber salad. This is a healthy chicken dinner full of exotic flavors that won't weigh you down.

1 Bake the Sweet Potatoes
Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1/2” thick fries. Toss sweet potatoes with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and 1/2 tsp. salt on prepared baking sheet. Spread into a single layer and bake 35-40 minutes, or until sightly charred. Turn potatoes with a spatula after 20 minutes. Set aside.

2 Prepare the Ingredients
Mince garlic. Trim and thinly slice green onions. Halve grape tomatoes. Trim cucumber and cut into 1/4” rounds. Mince roasted red pepper. Rinse chicken, pat dry, and season both sides with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

3 Cook the Chicken
While potatoes cook, warm an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray (alternatively, use a medium pan). Add chicken to hot pan and cook 5-6 minutes per side, or until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees. Transfer to a plate and let rest.
