    Loaded with sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, apples, chicken and bacon, this sweet potato Brussels sprouts hash tastes and smells just like Thanksgiving! I mean Thanksgiving doesn't have to be the only time you have delicious meals.

    Hashes are one of my favorite things to make as they are normally pretty quick and easy to put together. The main thing that takes some time is chopping everything, but after that it's pretty quick to whip up.

    If you are a little short on time however but still would love a hash, this chorizo sweet potato hash might be what you're looking for.

    Are you starting to get the idea I like fall/autumn dishes? I promise not every dish in the next month will be related to my favorite time of year, but most of them will! And today is about this autumn hash, which is loaded with sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, apples, chicken and bacon!

    For those that see Brussels sprouts and freak out, get with the times! We all know they are the "in" vegetable at the moment and they add a great flavor to the hash.

    As my wife said when I was cooking this, "It just smells like Thanksgiving." I'll take that every day of the week! So give this a try. Believe me, you'll be wondering why you hadn't made this autumn hash sooner!

    Recipe Ingredients

    • Bacon - adds flavor and fat to cook everything.
    • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts - can also use chicken thighs.
    • Sweet onion, sweet potato, Brussels sprouts, apples, garlic, thyme, sage - where most of the flavor of the hash comes from.
    • Cinnamon - adds some warmth to the dish.
    • Salt and black pepper - enhances the flavor.
    • Chicken stock - low-sodium is best.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Bring large cast iron skillet to medium heat and add bacon, cooking until crisp. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate.
    2. Keep bacon fat and increase heat to medium-high. Add the chicken, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper and cook about 4 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
    3. With skillet still over medium-high heat, add the vegetables and the remainder of the salt and black pepper to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the sweet potatoes are softened. Should be about 10 minutes. 
    4. Add the apples, garlic, thyme, sage and cinnamon. Cook 30 seconds. Add chicken back and cook until chicken is warmed through. Stir in bacon and serve immediately.

    Benefits of Sweet Potatoes

    Sweet potatoes are super popular these days and there is good reason for it. Some of the health benefits of sweet potatoes include:

    • Great source of fiber, vitamins and minerals.
    • Promotes gut health.
    • Regulates blood pressure and sugar levels.
    • Helps with keeping healthy vision.
    • May improve brain function.

    Ways to Shave Brussels Sprouts

    There are three ways to shave Brussels sprouts:

    • The easiest is adding Brussels sprouts to a food processor with a slicing attachment.
    • You can also use a mandolin to slice although I find that the most cumbersome and dangerous.
    • If you have neither you can just go old school and use a knife to thinly slice the Brussels sprouts. Yes it takes the most work, but you’ll be done before you know it.

    FAQs

    Can I Make this Vegetarian?

    Yes you can. Just omit the chicken and bacon and use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. I'd add another sweet potato to make up for the loss of chicken as well.

    Can I Use Different Vegetables?

    Butternut squash and pumpkin make great substitutes for the sweet potatoes if desired.

    Can I Serve this for Breakfast?

    Yes this actually works great as a breakfast/brunch dish as well. Just omit the chicken and add a couple of eggs over easy for some additional protein.

    Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

    • Be consistent when cutting the sweet potatoes so they will cook evenly.
    • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried. Just reduce the amount you use by two-thirds.
    • Leftovers will store well in the fridge for 2-3 days in an air-tight container or be frozen for 3 months.
