Up your summer grilling game with this dinner that's super simple to prepare from start to finish. Par-cook the sweet potatoes by blanching them for a few minutes before grilling. This way, the sweet potatoes cook on the grill in about the same amount of time as the chicken. A few rings of crunchy red onion provide a nice counterpoint with a bit of kick.

Off heat, coat grill rack or grill pan with nonstick spray. Preheat gas grill or grill pan to medium-high, or prepare medium-high fire in char- coal grill. Coat sweet potatoes with nonstick spray. Season potatoes and chicken with pinch of salt each. Transfer to grill. Close lid and cook until potatoes and chicken are cooked through and instant-read thermometer inserted into breasts registers 165°F. (The seasoning makes the chicken very red in color so be careful not to cook it for too long.)
