Asparagus Sweet Potato Chicken Skillet

 1 lb free-range organic boneless chicken breast

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

salt and black pepper

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced

1/2 cup chicken broth or water

1/2 lb fresh asparagus, cut at a diagonal in 1 and 2-inch pieces

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

 

1.  On a cutting board cut the chicken into small pieces, and season with salt and pepper.

2.  In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic, and chicken.

3.  Saute the chicken for about 7-10 minutes or until it is cooked through.  Don't forget to stir well.  Set the chicken mixture aside.

4.  In the same skillet, add the sweet potatoes and chicken broth.  Cover the pan with a lid. (This step is very important because it'll help the sweet potato to cook fast).

5.  Cook for about 7-10 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are cooked.

6.  Add the asparagus, and cook for about 4-5 minutes until tender.

7.  Return the chicken to the pan, and stir to combine thoroughly.

8.  Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper.
