Fall Chicken Skillet
Olive Oil |
1 tbsp |
Chicken Breast |
1 lb |
Kosher Salt |
2 tsp |
Ground Black Pepper |
1/2 tsp |
Thick-Cut Bacon - Diced |
4 slices |
Brussels Sprouts |
3 cups |
Sweet Potato |
1-2 each |
White Onion |
1 medium |
Granny Smith Apples |
2 each |
Garlic Cloves - Minced |
4 each |
Thyme |
2 tsp |
Cinnamon |
1 tsp |
Chicken Broth |
1 cup |
Directions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron pan or stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, 1 tsp kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
2. Add the bacon and cook until browned and crispy. Once the fat has been rendered with a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to allow the oil to drain. Discard all but 1 1/2 tablespoons of bacon drippings from the pan.
3. Increase skillet heat back to medium-high. Add Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, onion, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and the onions are beginning to look translucent about 10 minutes.
4. Stir in the apples, garlic, thyme, and cinnamon. Cook 30 seconds, then pour in 1/2 cup of the broth. Bring to a boil and cook until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved chicken, bacon, and remaining 1/2 cup broth. Cook until heated through and serve!
