Chicken, Sweet Potato and Apple Skillet

I made this yesterday and it combines some of my favorite things (Sweet Potatoes and Apples). I think that I might try adding zucchini next time. This recipe is perfect for a cold night when comfort food is the only thing that will satisfy.

1lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2" cubes

4 tsp olive oil
