Baked chicken sweet potato

Add 2 diced poblano peppers, 2 sweet potatoes that have been peeled and sliced, 1 diced onion, and 2 cloves of chopped garlic. Cook covered until soft, stirring occassionally. This will take about 7-10 minutes, depending on how thick you cut your sweet potato slices.

Chicken & sweet potato

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned chicken for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it’s beautifully browned on both sides and reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F.

HINT: I like to use the tender cut for my large family so it cooks faster and the size is more scaleable for all ages.
