Sweet and Bitter Chicken

You might be saying, Don’t you mean Sweet and Sour Chicken? But no, this dish is made with sweet potatoes and asparagus which in my opinion is more bitter than sour. 

So I started with a generous amount of EVOO in my favorite medium heated skillet. I added chopped onions, fresh ground pink salt and black pepper, sage and parsley flakes. 

Then I chopped up some fresh organic chicken, making sure to get rid of the veiny matter. I’m kinda picky about that. I don’t like having a bite of something I can’t chew easily. 

Next, I added a can of asparagus spears and chopped them as well and about half a bag of frozen cubed sweet potatoes. Stirring occasionally while sautéing this mixture, I also poured a little liquid ghee. It’s hard to imagine sweet potatoes without butter. 

I let this cook about 15-20 minutes or until all the chicken was thoroughly cooked and the potatoes were very tender and maybe even a little bit browned. And that is it. 

Another invention discovered by necessity. It’s very colorful. Let’s see how this tastes…

Yum!! The flavor was very good! Not crazy about the texture of the asparagus (kinda soggy) but otherwise great! And don’t ask me if I licked my plate cause I don’t want to lie to you. 

Let’s just say that salty, peppery, seasoned olive oil that would be left on the plate is extremely good for you and delicious! 

Happy eating…
