This spicy dish is delicious and super easy to make! It takes one skillet and just a little over 30 minutes to prepare. If you already have pre-cut chicken and onions, it would be even faster.
I was able to get most of these ingredients at Walmart and it would be so easy to keep these ingredients on hand for a quick go to meal.
I love to use chipotle chili powder in recipes, it adds a fun spicy kick. I normally use Spice Island Chipotle Chili Powder, if you can’t find it or another brand locally this chipotle chili from Amazon would be great.

This looks like something my family would love! Thanks so much for the recipe. Could you tell me where you’ve found the frozen diced sweet potatoes? I haven’t seen them at my local store.
Hi Claire, I found the frozen sweet potatoes at my local Walmart! I haven’t seen them at our other “fancier” grocery store, though.
What would it do to cooking times if I had fresh not frozen sweet potatoes? And I have no onions….just onion powder. Also, the cubed chicken, is it raw or cooked?
Hi Natalie,
I’m glad you liked it and your substitutions sound good. Yes, I used raw chicken and if you use fresh sweet potatoes it might take just a bit more time, but it seems like sweet potatoes cook pretty quickly.
This is soooo good. Yum. I just made a version of it with what I have on hand: replaced beans with black beans, onion powder, no onions and I did curry powder…no chilli powder and a little cayenne pepper. I also threw in some frozen riced cauliflower and ate it with cottage cheese. Made it a crossover, but wirth it! Sooo good. Thank you for the idea.
Made this tonight- it was fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
