Spicy Coconut Chicken

I have been craving sweet potatoes lately chili roasted sweet potatoes, to be exact.  I had some chicken breasts in the fridge and since I would be baking, thought I'd whip up some baked coconut chicken as well....and, since I had the oven on, I decided to make an apple crisp, too.  Gotta be efficient with our energy usage these days, right?  Right.  Grin.  My husband is gonna love me.  It's baking right now.  I added cinnamon and subbed blueberries for the blackberries, but it's essentially the same.  We're also having confetti rice salad or some coleslaw.  Or both.  But I digress.
