Harvest Chicken, Apple, Sweet Potato, and Brussels Sprouts Skillet Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by VerneJ

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 poundchicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
3 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered (about 3/4 pound)
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes (about 8 ounces)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 3/4 inch cubes
4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken stock, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium high, until hot and shimmering. Add the chicken and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels. Reduce skillet heat to medium low. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp and brown and the fat has rendered, about 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate (I simply laid another paper towel on top of the plate with the chicken, then stacked the bacon on that). Discard all but 1 1/2 tablespoons bacon fat from the pan. 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 8 minutes. 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 and remaining 1/2 cup broth. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in reserved bacon and serve warm.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices thick-cut bacon (chopped)
3 cups Brussels sprouts (trimmed and quartered (about 3/4 pound))
1 medium sweet potato (peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes (about 8 ounces))
1 medium onion (chopped)
2 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored and cut into 3/4 inch cubes)
4 cloves garlic (minced (about 2 teaspoons))
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth (divided)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium high, until hot and shimmering. Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels.
  • Reduce skillet heat to medium low. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp and brown and the fat has rendered, about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate (I simply laid another paper towel on top of the plate with the chicken, then stacked the bacon on that). Discard all but 1 1/2 tablespoons bacon drippings from the pan.
  • 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.
  • 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 and remaining 1/2 cup broth. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in reserved bacon and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples offer different flavors and textures, so using a mix will create a more complex and interesting dish. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the ingredients will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between each piece of chicken, apple, sweet potato, and Brussels sprout.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through before serving.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables are best when they are cooked just until tender. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
  • Season the dish to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

This harvest chicken, apple, sweet potato, and Brussels sprouts skillet is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the apples and sweet potatoes are sweet and caramelized, and the Brussels sprouts are slightly charred and crispy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
