Notes

Keep your leftovers fresh and ready for a quick meal by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
To best revive your skillet, gently reheat portions in a covered oven-safe dish at 325°F (160°C) until warm, or in the microwave with a splash of water to keep everything juicy.
While delicious on its own, this skillet pairs beautifully with a simple side of fluffy rice or a light, crisp green salad to round out your meal.
For an extra pop that really elevates the dish, stir in your fresh parsley or cilantro just before serving; that burst of green offers a bright, refreshing contrast to the savory BBQ chicken and sweet potatoes.
