Ingredients
Yield: 4 servings
Main
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2
Add the diced sweet potato and chopped onion to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the sweet potato starts to soften and brown slightly.
Step 3
Stir in the diced bell pepper and minced garlic. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the bell pepper is tender-crisp and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 4
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in the smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together to combine.
Step 5
Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to heat through. If desired, garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
- Top with a fried or poached egg for a delicious breakfast-for-dinner option.
- Prep your ingredients ahead of time by dicing the chicken and vegetables to make this even speedier on a busy weeknight.
