Directions

Prep 15 minCook 25 min

1
Trim tough ends from asparagus and cut into 1–2 inch pieces. Dice the chicken into bite-size pieces, then season with about three-quarters of the salt and pepper.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add the chicken.
3
Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through to 165°F, 7–10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
4
In the same skillet, add the diced sweet potatoes and chicken broth. Stir, cover, and cook until the sweet potatoes are just tender, 7–10 minutes, stirring once or twice.
5
Uncover, add the asparagus, and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 4–5 minutes.
6
Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet and toss to combine, warming through.
7
Season to taste with the remaining salt and pepper and the crushed red pepper flakes. Serve hot.
