Chicken, sweet potato

This delicious Sweet Potato Chicken Skillet is a perfect one-pan meal that's both nutritious and easy to make. The tender chicken pairs beautifully with the naturally sweet and creamy sweet potatoes, creating a comforting dish that's packed with flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 chicken breast (about 6 oz)
  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the sweet potato into small cubes (about 1/2 inch).
  2. In a skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potato and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are cooking, season the chicken breast with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  4. In the same skillet, push the sweet potatoes to one side and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the seasoned chicken breast in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, mix it with the sweet potatoes in the skillet. Remove from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

This Sweet Potato Chicken Skillet is not only easy to prepare but also a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Enjoy your meal as a wholesome dinner option that’s sure to satisfy!
