Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped sweet potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and caramelized.
Sauté Onions and Corn: Add the diced red onion and corn to the skillet. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are softened.
Add Chicken and BBQ Sauce: Stir in the cooked chicken and BBQ sauce, mixing well to combine. Heat through for 3-4 minutes until everything is warmed and flavors melded.
Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly on top of the skillet. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts beautifully.
Serve: Garnish with green onions if desired and serve the skillet warm straight from the pan.
