Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1 medium sized onion, diced
• 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast, , cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 c Brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed and cut into quarters
• 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. I do not peel them, but you can if you prefer
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 tsp dry thyme leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 c chicken broth

Instructions

 

• To begin, saute the bacon and onion together in a large skillet over medium low heat, until the bacon is golden and the onions are tender. Using a slotted spoon, scoop those to a plate lined with paper towels. Set it aside for now.
• You want about 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in the skillet. Remove any excess.
• Sprinkle the diced chicken with the salt and pepper.
• In the same skillet, cook the chicken in the bacon drippings over medium heat until opaque. 
• Add in the Brussels sprouts and sweet potato. Give them a stir and cook for about 8-10 minutes.
• Stir in the apples, garlic, thyme, cinnamon and chicken broth. Bring this all to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the sweet potatoes are fork tender.
• Stir in the bacon and onions.
• Enjoy!
