Chicken, Asparagus, and Sweet Potato Skillet
This CHICKEN, ASPARAGUS, AND SWEET POTATO SKILLET is a super easy, yet very flavorful one-pot meal!
My husband and I have been trying to eat better. We have tried to up our protein and vegetables and lower our sugar intake. It has been a little bit difficult, only because we have sugar flowing through our blood, but if there is one thing I have learned, it’s that healthy food can actually be delicious.
That is totally the case for this Chicken, Asparagus, and Sweet Potato Skillet. The chicken is moist, it draws a lot of flavor from the chicken broth and just some simple salt and pepper, and the sweet potatoes and asparagus pair so well together! It is one of our favorite meals to make when we are in a hurry because it is quick to throw together and doesn’t require a lot of dirty dishes.
The best part about this Chicken, Asparagus, and Sweet Potato Skillet is how much my three-year-old daughter likes it, too! She took a bite and said out loud, “I think I like this…” and cleaned her plate. Total mom win! It really is a delicious meal and you’re sure to like it whether you are trying to eat healthier or not!
