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.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The chicken was tough and the sweet potatoes were mushy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sweet potatoes were delicious.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a heavy hand with the cayenne pepper. Next time I'll use less.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chicken and sauce were so flavorful that they made me forget all about the sweet potatoes.

This skillet dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I added some chopped broccoli and bell pepper to the skillet, and it turned out great.
