Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick pan over medium high heat, until hot and shimmering.

Add the diced chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cook until lightly brown and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels.

Reduce the pan heat to medium low. Add chopped bacon and cook until crisp and brown.
Reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons of bacon fat.

Transfer bacon to the plate that the chicken is on using a slotted spoon.

Increase the heat back to medium high. Add broccoli, sweet potato, onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Cook until vegetables are crisp-tender and the onion is translucent, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the apples, garlic, thyme, and cinnamon. Cook 1 minute, then pour in 1/2 cup of chicken stock.

Bring to a boil and cook until the stock has evaporated.

Add the chicken and remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock.

Cooked until heated through. Then add the bacon and serve warm.
