Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Protein

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

Other Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Cook the sweet potatoes: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes, season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, and cook for about 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Add vegetables: Stir in the diced red onion and corn kernels with the sweet potatoes. Continue cooking for 5 minutes until the onions become translucent and the corn is heated through.
  3. Stir in BBQ chicken: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the BBQ sauce. Mix well to coat all the ingredients evenly and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the chicken is heated through and flavors meld together.
  4. Top with cheese and serve: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the skillet mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot straight from the skillet.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes to ensure even cooking.
  • Use your favorite BBQ sauce to customize the flavor profile.
  • Serve immediately while hot for best taste and texture.
