- Place a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
- Once the skillet has heated up, add in the diced chicken, cover it with the half of the spice blend and then spread it into a single layer, so the chicken has a chance to cook.
- Cook the chicken for 3 minutes and add in the onion. Give the skillet a stir, flip your chicken breasts, so all sides can cook.

- While the chicken is cooking. Peel the sweet potato and dice it.
- Lower the heat and add in the remaining half of the spice blend. Now, add in the diced sweet potato, tomatoes, black beans, green chiles and salsa.
