Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of bourbon, maple syrup, soy sauce, and smoked paprika for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's well-oiled to prevent sticking. While the grill heats, prepare the sweet potato mash by peeling and cubing 2 large sweet potatoes, then boiling them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them with 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup of milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper until creamy.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, brushing with additional glaze during the last few minutes of cooking for a sticky finish.
Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken over a generous scoop of sweet potato mash, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
