Curried Chicken and Sweet Potatoes image

This chicken and sweet potato dish is a delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors. I like to add a bit more spice. Make sure to keep the sweet potato chunks large so they keep their integrity over the long cooking time. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

This dish was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sweet potatoes were burnt. The curry sauce was also very bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sweet potatoes were undercooked. The curry sauce was also a bit too spicy for my taste. I probably wouldn't make this dish again.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sweet potatoes were perfectly roasted. The curry sauce was flavorful and had just the right amount of heat. I will definitely be making this again.
