Servings: 4
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2" cubes
4 tsp olive oil
3 slices 30% less fat center cut bacon (we used Oscar Mayer), chopped
1 1/2 cup Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
1 med sweet potato (8 oz), peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes
1 med onion, chopped
2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 3/4" cubes
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme OR 1/4 tsp dried
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/8 tsp salt
1. Season chicken lightly with salt. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in
large nonstick frying pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about
5 minutes. Transfer to plate.
2. Return pan to heat and add remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Stir in bacon
and cook until starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts,
sweet potato, and onion. Cook stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender,
about 5 minutes. Stir in apples, garlic, thyme, and cinnamon. Cook
3 minutes. Pour in ½ cup of the broth, bring to a boil, and cook until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add reserved chicken and remaining 1/2 cup
broth. Season with the salt and black pepper as needed. Cook until hot,
about 2 minutes.
