Cooking Steps

Prep sweet potatoes
1
  •  Before starting, lightly oil the grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high (approx. 500°F). Preheat the oven to 425°F. 
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Remove 2 tbsp butter (4 tbsp) from the fridge and set aside to come to room temperature.
  • Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add sweet potatoes and 1 tbsp oil. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.) Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
Roast sweet potatoes and prep
2
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 22-28 min, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden. (NOTE: For 4 servings, roast in the middle and bottom of the oven, switching baking sheet positions halfway through.)
  • While sweet potatoes cook, husk corn, then cut in half crosswise.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  • In a small bowl, combine lime zest, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and softened butter. Set aside.
Grill chicken
3
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  • To a large bowl, add chicken. Season with salt, pepper and Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over top. Flip to coat.
  • Add chicken to one side of the grill. Reduce heat to medium, close lid and grill for 6-8 min per side until chicken is cooked through.**
  • Remove from grill, cover and let rest for 2-3 min.
Grill corn and make cilantro-lime dip
4
  • While chicken cooks, add corn to other side of the grill. Close lid and grill for 8-10 min, flipping once, until tender.
  • To another small bowl, add mayo, lime juice and half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. 
Finish and serve
5

 

  • Thinly slice chicken. 
  • Divide chicken, sweet potato wedges and corn between plates. 
  • Spread lime butter (from step 2) onto corn, then sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Squeeze a lime wedge over top.
  • Serve with cilantro-lime dip on the side.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The lime butter on the corn and the cilantro-lime dip were standout hits, adding bright, fresh flavour to the dish. The sweet potatoes and sauce also earned strong praise, though some found the chicken seasoning a little mild.
  • Ease of prep: The recipe comes together well within the time suggested; one reviewer recommended prepping all ingredients before starting the cooking process to keep things running smoothly.
  • Suggestions: Add extra seasoning to the chicken for a more pronounced flavour, and consider cutting the sweet potato wedges thinner for a crispier result.
  • Portions: Several reviewers noted the sweet potatoes provided were quite small, making it difficult to cut even wedges; picking up an extra sweet potato is worth considering.
