Instructions
- In a large pan or cast iron skillet, heat about 2 tbs oil over medium.
- Add the chicken to brown, about 5 minutes, then remove from pan. It'll go back in later, so don't worry about cooking it all the way through.
- Add the sweet potatoes to the pan and sprinkle in a little salt to help soften them. If needed, add a bit more oil.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every other minute or so.
- Add the onion to the pan and cook about 5 minutes, stirring regularly but not constantly. Add the garlic, bell peppers, and spices, then cook about 1 minute. Return the chicken to the pan, then cook chicken through, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on temperature loss and size.
- Serve warm, garnished with green onions and freshly cracked pepper, and enjoy!
