Peel and dice the orange sweet potato into small, uniform cubes for even cooking.

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable or olive oil over medium-high heat.

In the same skillet, add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

Add the finely chopped onion and quartered button mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender.

Stir in the chopped garlic and Dijon mustard, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add 3/4 cup boiling chicken stock and 1/4 cup thickened cream.
-
Simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
