Blackened Chicken and Brussels Sprouts Skillet

Blackened Chicken and Brussels Sprouts Skillet

INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 teaspoon kosher salt divided

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

4 slices thick-cut bacon chopped

3 cups Brussels sprouts trimmed and quartered (about 3/4 pound)

1 medium sweet potato peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes (about 8 ounces)

1 medium onion chopped

2 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored and cut into 3/4 inch cubes

4 cloves garlic minced (about 2 teaspoons)

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth divided

DIRECTIONS:

With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate (I simply laid another paper towel on top of the plate with the chicken, then stacked the bacon on that). Discard all but 1 1/2 tablespoons bacon drippings from the pan.
Increase skillet heat back to medium high. Add Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, onion, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and the onions are beginning to look translucent, about 10 minutes …
