  4. Pour in the chicken broth or water, cover, and let cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  5. Remove the lid and let any excess liquid cook off. If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top and let melt for 1–2 minutes.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lime or a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving.
  • Make it spicy with jalapeños or a dash of cayenne.
  • This dish stores well for meal prep and reheats beautifully.
