CROCK POT HERBED CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES



Crock Pot Herbed Chicken With Sweet Potatoes image

Adapted from Betty Crocker's "Slow Cooker Cookbook". Add a green vegetable towards the end of the cooking time and this really is a complete meal! In the original recipe, a cup of thawed green beans is added in the last twenty minutes. Not being overly fond of beans, when I've made this recipe, I've added broccoli florets in the last hour of cooking or baby spinach leaves in the last 10 minutes. Regardless of whether the soup I've used has herbs in it, I usually sprinkle oregano or mixed Italian herbs on the chicken.

3 lbs skinless chicken pieces
1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs, to taste

1 (6 ounce) packet chicken flavor stuffing mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup broccoli florets or 1 cup baby spinach leaves, tightly packed

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN & SWEET POTATO CHILI



Slow-Cooker Chicken & Sweet Potato Chili image

I'm a college student and one of the things I miss the most at school is my mom's wonderful cooking. This slow cooker recipe is something I can make in my dorm on a busy Sunday. I just throw it all in the slow cooker before I leave for church and come back to piping hot homemade comfort food. Be sure to serve with a good sprinkle of cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and plenty of tortilla chips. -Bailey Starkey, Mount Vernon, Washington
