Directions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add sweet potato cubes to the skillet with a splash of water. Cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once, until nearly tender.
- Stir in broccoli. Cover and cook 4 to 5 minutes until bright and tender-crisp (a few extra minutes if starting from frozen).
- Return chicken to the pan, toss to warm, and serve. No rice or bread on the weeknight plate.
