Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups Sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing your ingredients. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, dice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts for about 2 minutes on each side until lightly golden. This step is optional but adds more flavor.
Place the diced sweet potatoes at the bottom of your crock pot, creating an even layer.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic on top of the sweet potatoes.
Lay the seared chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, honey, ground cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the broth mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the chicken is tender and the sweet potatoes are fully cooked.
Once cooked, remove the chicken and sweet potatoes carefully using a slotted spoon.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve the chicken and sweet potatoes warm, and enjoy this comforting dish!
