Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

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

Protein

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

Other Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Cook sweet potatoes: Heat the 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 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender and slightly browned.
  2. Add vegetables: Stir in the diced red onion and corn kernels into the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  3. Stir in BBQ chicken: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the BBQ sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for 3-5 minutes until heated through and flavors meld together.
  4. Top with cheese and serve: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the skillet mixture. Cover the skillet and allow the cheese to melt for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving hot.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
  • Use your favorite BBQ sauce to customize the flavor profile—smoky, spicy, or sweet.
  • Serve the skillet hot for best flavor and melty cheese texture.
