instructions
    1

    Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes, about 1 inch in size.

    2

    Heat a pot of water over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, or until tender.

    3

    While the sweet potatoes are cooking, chop the onion and chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.

    4

    In a frying pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

    5

    Next, add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

    6

    Once the chicken is cooked, drain the sweet potatoes and add them to the pan of chicken and onion.

    7

    Pour in the soy sauce and mirin, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together gently, allowing the sweet potatoes to absorb the flavors, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

    8

    Once everything is well combined and heated through, serve hot and enjoy!
