Chicken & Sweet Potato Hash

I needed a change this past fall with sweet potatoes and chicken.  I was getting bored with my traditional baked sweet potato and chicken.  I was on the hunt for something new to do with both ingredients.  I found this recipe on the Team Beachbody website and thought, what the heck - let's try it; what's the worst that can happen.

Well, obviously I must have liked it since those are the only kinds of recipes get posted.  So, if you are looking for a change, give this a try next time!

Chicken & Sweet Potato Hash

Ingredients:
8oz. Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast cut into 1/2 inch strips
1 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 small Sweet Potato cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 small Red Onion, chopped
1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
Dash of Sea Salt
Dash of Black Pepper
1 tsp. Oregano
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Ground Ginger

Directions:
-  Pre-heat a medium sized skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

-  Sautee the sweet potato, onion, bell pepper, and spices for at least 5 minutes until the potatoes start to brown.  Keep in mind, you might need to saute the mixture longer though.  I honestly didn't time how long mine took, but I know it was longer than 5 minutes, probably more like 15-30 minutes.

-  Add the chicken breast to the skilled.  Cover and simmer about 8 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink & potato pieces are ford tender.  (However, you may have to cook longer.  It took me between 20-35 minutes,
