Coming at you with another delicious healthy meal, and y'all, this one would be PERFECT to make over Thanksgiving! And if you wanted to make it more of a side to accompany your turkey and other fixings then you could always leave out the chicken.
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 :
- Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick or cast iron skilletover medium high, until hot and shimmering. Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium low. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp and brown and the fat has rendered, about 8 minutes. 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 fat 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.
- Stir in the apples, garlic, thyme, and cinnamon. Cook 30 seconds, then pour in 1/2 cup of the broth. Bring to a boil and cook until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved chicken and remaining 1/2 cup broth. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in reserved bacon and serve warm.

Next up, here are the three dresses that I shared with you guys over the weekend on Instastories. I love all three of these dresses and you can not beat the under $55 price tag on all three!
Cowl Neck Sweater Dress // Over the Knee Boots (on sale 30% off)
Dress runs big, but it's supposed to be an oversized loose fit. For reference, I'm wearing it in the small. I may get it hemmed at the bottom a few inches...being 5'2", I like most of my dresses to hit right above the knee.
Tier Sleeve Sweatshirt Dress // Booties (on sale)
Dress runs super big and I'm wearing it the xs, but I'm sending it back for the xxs. It is so comfy and I think it will look adorable dressed up or down.
Dress runs tts and I'm wearing it in the xs. And y'all, I am obsessed...this dress is so comfy and it has the lightest fleece lining!
