"Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Sweet Potatoes. Enjoy these flavors together. Different than usual Sweet Potato Casseroles. Just created it. Old boy friend was embarrassed to say chicken "breasts," called them chicken "chests" --in his memory, for this recipe, I'll call them "chests.""

Okay, so I didn't have the coconut or the mango's but what the heck thought I would try it anyway. Followed all the rest. Turned out great. Cannot wait to try the real thing!
