BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Skillet

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs, diced
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced small
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar
• 2 green onions, sliced
• to taste kosher salt and black pepper

Instructions

1. Cut sweet potatoes into small 1/2-inch cubes so they cook quickly. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add sweet potatoes, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
2. Cook sweet potatoes 10–12 minutes, stirring often. Add a splash of water and cover for 2 minutes if they are browning before they soften. Transfer to a plate.
3. Add remaining oil, chicken, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook 5–7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
4. Add onion and bell pepper and cook 3–4 minutes until softened. Return sweet potatoes to the pan and stir in barbecue sauce until everything is glossy.
5. Sprinkle with cheddar, cover for 1–2 minutes to melt, then top with green onions. Serve as-is or over rice.
