Provided by Arlene Mobley - Flour On My Face

Categories     Main Dish

Time 4h8m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium sweet potatoes (peeled, washed and cut into quarters)
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs ((about 2 pounds))
1 1/2 cups orange marmalade
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons minced garlic
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cool water

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



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.

CROCK POT PINEAPPLE CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES AND CARROTS RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Crock Pot Pineapple Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Carrots Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by Katecooks

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 carrots, cut up
1 sweet potato, large, diced
2 pounds chicken breasts, boneless skinless
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 onion, chopped, optional
1 small can pineapple chunks

Steps:

  • Place cut up carrots and sweet potatoes in bottom of crock pot, then add chicken breasts. In a large bowl, add brown sugar, pineapple juice, orange juice, soy sauce, ginger and garlic salt pour over chicken, sweet potatoes and carrots in crock pot. Cook on low until chicken is tender, about 6 hours. For shorter cook time, cook on high for about 4 hours. About one hour before done add the small can of pineapple chunks so they can heat up with rest of food.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help the cooking process go smoothly.
  • Choose Your Sweet Potatoes Wisely: Smaller sweet potatoes are ideal for this recipe as they cook more evenly and quickly. Look for potatoes that are about the same size so they cook at the same rate.
  • Sear the Chicken: Before adding the chicken to the slow cooker, sear it in a large skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to lock in the flavor and create a crispy outer layer.
  • Use Fresh Orange Juice: Fresh orange juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the sauce. If you don't have fresh oranges on hand, you can use store-bought orange juice, but be sure to choose a high-quality brand.
  • Add Vegetables: If you want to add more vegetables to the dish, consider adding chopped carrots, bell peppers, or broccoli. You can also stir in a bag of frozen peas or corn towards the end of the cooking time.
  • Serve with Rice: Crock-Pot Orange Chicken is traditionally served over rice. You can use white rice, brown rice, or even quinoa.

Conclusion:

This Crock-Pot Orange Chicken with Sweet Potatoes is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the sweet potatoes are perfectly cooked, and the orange sauce is tangy and sweet. Serve it over rice for a complete meal that your family will love.
