Equipment

12-inch cast iron skillet

Ingredients

4 pieces bacon
1 pound ground chicken (I used
1 cup diced onion (120 grams)
4 cups diced sweet potato (about 1 pound/2 medium)
2 cups diced bell peppers (360 grams/2 medium)
1 heaping cup diced apple (150 grams/1 medium)
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon oil or bacon grease (if needed)
salt and pepper, to taste
for serving: fried or poached eggs, fresh herbs...

Instructions

Cook your bacon. Heat a large cast iron skillet or nonstick pan (it needs to be large and have a lid - I used 12 inches) over medium heat. Add bacon and sprinkle with pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until crispy. Remove from pan and let cool.
Cook your chicken. Turn down the heat to medium-low and drain most of the bacon grease. Add ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula or meat chopper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned on the outside (it doesn't need to be all the way cooked through as it is going back in). Remove from pan and set aside.
Cook your veggies. If needed, add some oil or bacon grease to your pan. Then add sweet potatoes, onions, and salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cover with a lid, and cook for 13-15 minutes, stirring about every 5 minutes. Next, add the peppers, mix to combine, and cook for another 4-5 minutes. All the veggies should be tender at this point.
Add back your chicken and the remaining ingredients. Turn down the heat to low and add your ground chicken (with the juices), diced apple, spices, and a little salt and pepper to the pan and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-3 more minutes until warmed through and the apples are slightly softened.
Crumble the bacon and mix to combine.
Enjoy! Serve with a fried egg or two and toppings of choice and enjoy!
