sweet potatoes and apples

This is a great recipe to use leftover chicken and baked sweet potatoes. Don’t have leftovers? I’ll let you in on a little secret: the dish in the photograph above was made with a chicken breast from the deli section of the supermarket and a bag of frozen cubed sweet potatoes. And it was indeed hearty, and delicious! Best part? It only takes ONE dish to cook so clean up is a cinch!
