CROCK POT ORANGE-CURRY CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATO PILAF



Crock Pot Orange-Curry Chicken With Sweet Potato Pilaf image

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.
