Description

A cozy one-pan dish featuring tender chicken, sweet potatoes, and a medley of spices, perfect for a quick weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, and chop the bell peppers and onion.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Then add sweet potatoes and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Combine Everything: Add chicken back to the skillet with bell peppers and cumin. Cook for another few minutes until heated through.
  5. Final Touches: Adjust seasoning to taste, and add fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Cut sweet potatoes evenly for consistent cooking. Don’t overcrowd the pan to maintain a crispy texture. Use fresh spices for the best flavor.
