Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)
Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, push the sweet potatoes to the side and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chicken pieces, season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
Make the Alfredo Sauce: Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. If using, add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Combine and Serve: Stir the sweet potatoes back into the skillet with the chicken and Alfredo sauce. Mix well to combine. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
