By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1” chunks
• 2/3 cup, plus 3 Tbsp., flour, divided
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 4 5-oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
• 1/4 stick (2 Tbsp.) butter
• 10 3/4-oz. can cream of chicken soup
• 3/4 cup pineapple juice
• 2 tsp. brown sugar
• 1 tsp. grated orange peel

Preparation

Step 1

1. Layer sweet potatoes into slow cooker.

2. In a resealable plastic bag, combine ⅔ cup flour and seasonings. Add chicken, one piece at a time, and shake to coat.

3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chicken in butter for 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. (Don’t crowd the skillet or the chicken will steam rather than brown.) Arrange browned chicken over sweet potatoes.

4. Place remaining flour in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir in soup, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and orange peel until blended. Pour over chicken.

5. Cover. Cook on Low 3 ½ -4 hours, or until potatoes are soft and chicken is cooked through but not dry.
