We actually grill halves like this more often than quarters, but for quarters, snip the area between the leg and the breast that's thinnest.

Alternatively, cut them into bigger chunks/slices but then chop them more fine after cooking when they're softer. Either way, make sure the sweet potatoes are no more than 1-inch thick or else they'll take a lot longer to cook (carrots too). Put the veggies in a large bowl and add 1-2 T. olive oil, 1-2 tsp. cumin, 1 tsp. coriander, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Toss to coat, adding a little more oil if needed. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray or rub with oil. Spread the veggies in a single layer. If they don't fit, use two sheets. If you're using two, it helps to use one for sw pot and one for everything else since they don't always cook at the same rate. Roast at 425 for about half an hour or until tender, stirring every 10 minutes. Let cool a bit then chop into bite-size pieces if not already done.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br /></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Cook the rice: Cook the rice in the chicken broth with 1/2 tsp. salt.

When almost soft, add the garlic. After a minute, add 1-2 T. chili power, 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander. Stir til onions are coated with spices. After another minute, add the beans. Add salt and more spices to taste. I sometimes add a splash (a tablespoon?) of apple cider vinegar at the end to brighten the flavor. If the beans get dry while cooking, add a little water.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br /></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Assemble: If you're not eating them right away, get squares of foil ready.

Use more less depending on the size of your tortillas. Don't overfill!

Fill your tortillas with chicken mixture and a little cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in the pan. Repeat. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle more cheese on top (don't be stingy). Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and then turn on the broiler for a couple minutes so it gets nice and brown.

Sprinkle with ginger, seasoning salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and sugar. Shape into one inch balls. Place meatballs in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes; set aside.<br /><br />To make the sauce, mix enough water with the reserved pineapple juice to make 1 cup. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the juice mixture, 1/3 cup water, vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir in cornstarch, ginger and seasoning salt, until smooth. Cover and cook until thickened.<br /><br />Stir pineapple chunks, carrot, green pepper and meatballs into the sauce. Gently stir to coat the meatballs with the sauce. Simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until meatballs are thoroughly cooked.<br /><br />*recipe taken from allrecipes.com</td></tr></tbody></table>Jess, Andrew and Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11695087092654228158noreply@blogger.com1
