BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Skillet

Print Recipe

A simple, one pan meal combining sweet potatoes, cooked chicken, and BBQ sauce for a cozy family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups Cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 Red onion, diced
  • 1 cup Corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into small cubes so they cook fast.
  2. Heat a large skillet with two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the sweet potatoes and a pinch of salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir often and cook until they start to soften and get a little brown, about ten to twelve minutes.
  4. Move the potatoes to the side and add the red onion and corn, cook for three minutes.
  5. Add the cooked chicken and pour in the BBQ sauce, stirring to coat all pieces.
  6. Let everything cook together for three to five minutes so the sauce heats through and sticks to the food.
  7. Turn off the heat and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the skillet. Cover the pan briefly so the cheese melts.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot right from the skillet.

Notes

For a different meal feel, serve over rice or in warm tortillas.
