 Servings: 4
  
 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2" cubes
 4 tsp olive oil
 3 slices 30% less fat center cut bacon (we used Oscar Mayer), chopped
 1 1/2 cup Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
 1 med sweet potato (8 oz), peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes
 1 med onion, chopped
 2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 3/4" cubes
 4 cloves garlic, sliced
 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme OR 1/4 tsp dried
 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
 1/8 tsp salt
  
 1. Season chicken lightly with salt. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in 
 large nonstick frying pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. 
 Add chicken and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 
 5 minutes. Transfer to plate.
  
 2. Return pan to heat and add remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Stir in bacon 
 and cook until starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts, 
 sweet potato, and onion. Cook stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 
 about 5 minutes. Stir in apples, garlic, thyme, and cinnamon. Cook 
 3 minutes. Pour in ½ cup of the broth, bring to a boil, and cook until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add reserved chicken and remaining 1/2 cup 
 broth. Season with the salt and black pepper as needed. Cook until hot, 
 about 2 minutes.
