Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast diced
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and 1/2-inch dice
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • sliced green onions to serve

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sweet potatoes with a pinch of salt, cover, and cook 8 minutes, stirring once.
  2. Add the chicken and bell pepper, season with paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook 6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Pour in the barbecue sauce and cook 2 minutes more until glossy and coated.
  4. Rest 2 minutes, scatter over green onions, and serve.

Notes

Dice the sweet potatoes small — 1/2 inch is the difference between 8 minutes and 20.
