Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your ingredients. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, dice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves.

In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts for about 2 minutes on each side until lightly golden. This step is optional but adds more flavor.

Add the diced onion and minced garlic on top of the sweet potatoes.

Step 5

Lay the seared chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, honey, ground cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Pour the broth mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the chicken is tender and the sweet potatoes are fully cooked.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the chicken and sweet potatoes carefully using a slotted spoon.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.

Step 11

Serve the chicken and sweet potatoes warm, and enjoy this comforting dish!
