Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Protein & Dairy

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Other Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (use favorite brand)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Cook sweet potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes, season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly browned.
  2. Add vegetables: Stir in the diced red onion and corn kernels. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and combined well with the sweet potatoes.
  3. Stir in BBQ chicken: Add the cooked chicken pieces and BBQ sauce to the skillet. Mix everything thoroughly and cook for 3-5 minutes to heat the chicken through and allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Top with cheese and serve: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Use your favorite BBQ sauce to customize the flavor to your liking.
  • Serve the dish hot immediately after adding cheese for the best texture and taste.
