Steps:
- Wash, peel and cut the sweet potatoes into quarters than place them in a single layer in the bottom of a 7 quart slow cooker or use the Crock Pot Casserole slow cooker like I have.
- Season the sweet potatoes with salt and pepper.
- Place the boneless chicken thighs on top of the sweet potatoes in a single layer and salt and pepper them.
- In a small bowl or a spouted measuring cup mix the orange marmalade, chicken broth and minced garlic. Mix well and pour over the top of the sweet potatoes and chicken in the crock pot.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours. Cooking time will vary. Chicken is done when the internal temperature of the thickest piece has reached 165 Fahrenheit on a meat thermometer.
- When the chicken thighs are done cooking transfer the chicken and sweet potatoes from the slower to a serving platter.
- Carefully using kitchen mitts lift the hot slow cooker crock from the base and pour the pan drippings into a medium sauce pan and heat to boiling. Mix the cornstarch with the water and pour into the saucepan. Whisk and return to a boil whisking until thickened. Remove the sauce pan from the heat and pour the glaze over the chicken and sweet potatoes before serving.
- Serve chicken and sweet potatoes over a bed of cooked white rice or cooked quinoa.

CROCK POT ORANGE-CURRY CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATO PILAF
This dish came from a long stare into the pantry trying to put together a meal when I didn't have enough sweet potatoes for all 6 of us and couldn't get to the store. But I had a bunch of little oranges the kids weren't eating. Sometimes necessity is delicious. ;) It's not as involved as the long ingredient list looks and I'm sure it would be easy to halve if you're not feeding a big family with hungry teens.

Tips:
- Choose the right oranges. Use a variety of oranges, such as navel oranges, Valencia oranges, or blood oranges, for a more complex flavor.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them. This will release the aromatic oils from the peel, which will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
- Use fresh ginger and garlic. Fresh ginger and garlic will give the dish a much better flavor than powdered ginger and garlic.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can quickly become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Orange chicken is delicious with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
