I think everyone loves a good “one pot” meal. The fact that this one contains so many goodies and is fairly quick to make is an awesome bonus. I mean just look at the gorgeousness in that skillet right there!

Watch me make this recipe in the video below:

To begin, sauté the bacon and onion together in a large skillet over medium low heat, until the bacon is golden and the onions are tender.

If you are using beef or turkey bacon (as I prefer), add a tablespoon of good cooking fat, such a butter or duck fat.

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 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 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!

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon (I prefer beef bacon), cut into 1/2 inch pieces (SEE NOTE BELOW)

  • 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

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dry thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 c chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • To begin, sauté 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.

Notes

If you are using beef or turkey bacon (as I prefer) add a tablespoon of good cooking fat, such a butter or duck fat. Beef and turkey bacon are very lean and will not provided the drippings you’ll need for the recipe.
