SWEET POTATO CROCK POT STEW



Sweet Potato Crock Pot Stew image

Great Fall/Winter Crock Pot Recipe with a 'surprise' ingredient that really puts this over the top for "Yum Factor". My family loves it, and it is a really short ingredient list! I originally got the basic recipe from a magazine and changed a couple of things for more flavor. (Like using chicken broth instead of water, and adding chopped ham -- or chicken works well too -- whichever you have). Great on it's own, or served over rice!

Tips for Making the Best Chicken Sweet Potato Crock Pot Stew

  • Sear the Chicken: Sear chicken breasts in a skillet before adding them to the crock pot. This will give the chicken a nice browned exterior and help to lock in the juices.
  • Use Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts will give the stew a richer flavor. If you prefer, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but the stew will be less flavorful.
  • Add Vegetables: In addition to sweet potatoes, you can add other vegetables to the stew, such as carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers.
  • Use Chicken Broth: Chicken broth is the best liquid to use for the stew. If you don't have chicken broth, you can use water, but the stew will have a less flavorful.
  • Season the Stew: Season the stew with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Cook on Low: Cook the stew on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve Hot: Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro.
