Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat the skillet. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
  2. Cook the sweet potatoes. Add diced sweet potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
  3. Add onions and corn. Stir in diced red onion and corn, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until onions are translucent.
  4. Incorporate chicken and BBQ sauce. Mix in shredded chicken and BBQ sauce, heating through for about 3-5 minutes.

  6. Garnish and serve. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and enjoy your skillet meal.
