Chicken, Leek and Sweet Potato One Pot image

I picked this recipe up in a family circle booklet. The best thing I like about this recipe is that it is all cooked in one pot. I often throw in peas or beans towards the end of cooking so it is a complete meal. I have also cooked this one is a crockpot by just cutting down of the amount of liquid.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the vegetables were delicious.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices, and it was much better.

I love one-pot meals, and this one is no exception. It's so easy to make, and the clean-up is a breeze. The chicken and vegetables are cooked to perfection, and the sauce is delicious.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and the dish was still very flavorful. I served it with rice, and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes balanced out the sharpness of the leeks, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, the leeks and sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked, and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be making this again.
