Slow Cooker Maple Glazed Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

I’m trying to eat healthier, so I’m always on the look out for anything with vegetables and sweet potatoes.  This one, I originally assembled backwards and it created mushy sweet potatoes that were over boiled on the bottom.  I’ve fixed that, by moving the sweet potatoes to the top and getting it out of the liquid as well as shortening the cook time.  Plus, I cut them into too small pieces.  Other than my mushy potatoes, it was really good (and I’ll show you how not to have quite as much mush in your finished product).  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!   (This post contains affiliate links.)

Ingredients:

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast (Enough for your family)
Sweet Potatoes (Enough for your family, I used 4 large ones)
1 TBSP Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 cup of Maple Syrup
1/2 cup sliced green onion
Paprika
Salt

 

Directions:

1. Slice Sweet Potatoes into large pieces (so that they don’t disintegrate).
2. Chop green onions.
3. Sprinkle paprika and salt all over each side of the boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
4. Pour green onions and sweet potatoes over the chicken.
5. Mix together maple syrup and Worcestershire sauce and pour over the top of the chicken.
