Description
A comforting one-pan dinner featuring tender sweet potatoes, juicy chicken, and tangy BBQ sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by cooking the sweet potatoes. In a large skillet over medium heat, add your diced sweet potatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Sauté them for about 10-15 minutes or until they’re tender and golden, stirring occasionally.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, add the sliced red onion and corn to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent, adding a pinch of smoked paprika for that hint of warmth.
- Now, it’s time to stir in the cooked chicken along with the BBQ sauce, coating it all in that irresistible tangy flavor. Allow everything to simmer together for about 3-5 minutes, letting those flavors meld beautifully.
- Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of your skillet dish. Cover for a few minutes to let the cheese melt, turning it into a gooey, cheesy extravagance.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh green onions for a touch of freshness. Grab a fork, dig in, and let that comforting warmth take you over!
