HARVEST SKILLET CHICKEN WITH APPLES, BRUSSELS SPROUT AND SWEET POTATOES

CREDITS TO: Closet Cooking

INGREDIENTS:

4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 pound chicken, cut into bite sized pieces

1 onion, diced

1 sweet potato, peeled and diced

1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved or quartered

4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)

2 teaspoon thyme, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)

2 apples, diced

1 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoon whole grain mustard

2 tablespoon maple syrup

salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat and set aside, reserving the bacon grease in the pan.
2. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until lightly golden brown, about 6-8 minutes, before setting aside.
3. Add the onion, sweet potato and brussels sprouts and cook until just tender, about 10-15 minutes before adding the garlic, thyme and apples and cooking until fragrant, about a minute.
4. Add the broth and deglaze the pan by scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon while the broth sizzles.
5. Add the bacon, chicken, mustard, maple syrup, salt and pepper and cook until the sauce thickens a bit, about 2-3 minutes.

I did not follow the direction on apple that is why my cooked meal is not showing apples on it. They turned into liquid because it was cooked along with the sweet potato, LOL. Never do this. The recipe is still good. I will definitely cooked this again, correctly.😄
