How to Make Caribbean Chicken With Nectarines Sweet Potatoes And Bananas

  1. Peel and cube 1 pound of sweet potatoes. Add to a large saucepan of boiling water. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender (about 10-12 minutes).
  2. Drain the sweet potatoes well.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. Sauté until opaque and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add the cooked sweet potatoes, 1 ripe nectarine, diced; 1 tablespoon orange marmalade; 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard; and 1/4 teaspoon finely minced jalapeño (or to taste). Cook, stirring gently, until heated through (about 3-4 minutes).
  5. Add 2 ripe bananas, sliced. Cook until heated through (1-2 minutes).
  6. Serve immediately, sprinkled with 2 tablespoons of sliced scallions.
