Skillet Sweet Potato Chicken Hash with Eggs
Description
This recipe starts by sautéing chopped onions in olive oil until golden, then adding diced, peeled sweet potatoes seasoned with thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. A small amount of water and a covered cooking technique help soften the sweet potatoes while developing a lightly crisp exterior. Adding cooked, diced chicken to the skillet warms the meat through and integrates its flavor. Wells are made in the hash for eggs to be cracked in, which are seasoned and cooked on low heat with a cover to gently cook the whites while keeping yolks runny. The result is a rustic hash combining sweet, savory, and herbal flavors with a variety of textures.
Garnishing with fresh chives adds mild onion notes and freshness. This dish works well for breakfast, brunch, or a casual dinner, providing a balanced combination of protein, vegetables, and starch in one pan.
