Heat olive oil in a pan until hot.

Add 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes over medium to medium-high heat.

Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

Cook bacon over lower heat until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate on top of the chicken.

Assess the fat in the pan, draining excess but leaving some for cooking vegetables.

Add chopped onions, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Cook vegetables until tender.

Add garlic, diced granny smith apple, thyme, and cinnamon to the pan.

Pour in some chicken stock and cook until apples are tender.

Return the chicken to the pan, adding a little more chicken stock to warm it through.

Top with crispy bacon before serving.
