Ingredients
- 82.3 g boneless skinless chicken thigh
- 90 g sweet potato
- 0.587 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 tsp Cajun seasoning blend
Method
- 011. Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with half of the olive oil.
- 022. Toss the diced sweet potato with half of the Cajun seasoning blend, then add to the skillet. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges are caramelized and the centers are tender.
- 033. Push the sweet potatoes to one side or remove temporarily. Add the remaining olive oil and the diced chicken thigh to the skillet. Season with the remaining Cajun seasoning and minced garlic.
- 044. Sauté the chicken for 5-6 minutes, tossing until browned on all sides and cooked through to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- 055. Combine the sweet potatoes and chicken in the pan, tossing together for 1 minute to ensure a rich savory crust from the spice blend. Serve hot in a bowl.
