4 medium sweet potatoes
2 1/2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons orange juice

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0 F. Peel sweet potatoes and cut each lengthwise into eight wedges. Mix 1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil with salt. In a large bowl, toss wedges in the butter and salt, coating well. Arrange sweet potatoes on a lightly oiled or nonstick 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until tender. In a small bowl, combine juices, cornstarch, and ginger. Stir in apricot preserves, and mix well. Set aside.
2
Season chicken breasts with ground pepper to taste. Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet. Saute chicken over medium heat until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
3
Remove chicken breasts from skillet and keep warm. Add garlic to pan and saute for 30 seconds. Stir in apricot mixture, and continue stirring until sauce is thickened.
4
To serve, arrange sweet potato wedges in pinwheel formation on a platter. Top with chicken breasts, and drizzle sauce over chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley and mint. Serve immediately to grown-up guests; cut into toddler-sized chunks or mash for your little one.
