Ingredients | Quick And Easy Healthy Dinner Recipes For Two

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half, cut into cubes

1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 tablespoon Irish whiskey

1 tablespoon minced fresh sage

1 pear - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

½ cup water

2 cups baby spinach

¼ cup chopped toasted hazelnuts

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and place on a plate.

Cook and stir sweet potato in the same skillet over medium heat until slightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes; return chicken to the skillet. Add whiskey, sage, pear, and water; stir well. Partially cover skillet, lower heat to medium-low, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and sweet potato is tender, about 10 minutes.

Remove lid and sprinkle spinach over the chicken-sweet potato mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in hazelnuts; season with salt and black pepper.
