Favorite Dinner Recipe

Sweet Potato Stir-Fry (serves 2.5)
My Special Creation 

What you'll need: 

2 large sweet potatoes 
Sunflower Oil (at walmart, actually cheaper than the other oils and slightly healthier)
Bell Peppers (1 Yellow, 1 Orange, 1 Red)
1 Zucchini 
1 Squash 
Jalepanos 
1 Chicken Breast 

Cooking the Chicken: 

-Clean and Trim the chicken. 
-Use kitchen scissors and cut the chicken into small cubes 
-Pour enough sunflower oil into small skillet to cover the bottom
-Add chicken (you can add season, but I typically don't because it has so much flavor when mixed with other ingredients) 
-Cook chicken on medium until chicken turns white. Set aside. 

*Don't worry about the chicken getting cold, it'll be warmed up with the stir-fry.

Remaining Ingredients: 

-Cut sweet potatoes into small cubes as well. ( I usually cut the potato in half and cut long strips and half those strips). The size does not matter at all. 
-Cut bell peppers into long strips (just mimic the cutting process as potatoes)
-Cut zucchini and squash (when I cut mine they look like cucumber circles and then I half them)
-Cut jalepanos. ( I leave seeds in because I LOVE spice, deseeding is recommending if you don't want your mouth on fire). 

-Use a deep-skillet 
-Add enough sunflower oil to cover the bottom and place all cut ingredients into pan. 
-Cover and let cook for about (20 minutes) on medium
-Stir occasionally 
-After 25 minutes, uncover and place chicken in with the sweet potato batch
-Leave uncovered and cook for another 10-15 minutes. 

Enjoy!! It is super filling and delicious
