Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half, cut into cubes
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon Irish whiskey
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
1 pear - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
½ cup water
2 cups baby spinach
¼ cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and place on a plate.
  • Cook and stir sweet potato in the same skillet over medium heat until slightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes; return chicken to the skillet. Add whiskey, sage, pear, and water; stir well. Partially cover skillet, lower heat to medium-low, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and sweet potato is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove lid and sprinkle spinach over the chicken-sweet potato mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in hazelnuts; season with salt and black pepper.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sweet potatoes were cooked perfectly. The sauce was also very flavorful. I would make this dish again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it! He said the chicken was tender and the sweet potatoes were cooked perfectly. The sauce was also very flavorful. I would make it again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

Overall, this dish was just okay. The chicken was tender and the sweet potatoes were cooked well, but the sauce was a bit bland and the dish lacked flavor. I think it could be improved with some more seasoning or a more flavorful sauce.

The chicken was a bit dry and the sweet potatoes were undercooked. The sauce was also a bit too sweet for my taste. I think this dish needs some tweaking to get it right.

This skillet dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, the sweet potatoes were perfectly caramelized, and the sauce was flavorful and slightly tangy. I served it with a side of roasted broccoli and it was a complete meal. Defin
