Ingredients

3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
2/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)

Despite the previous reviews, the list of ingredients seemed like it would taste good. Boy was I wrong! It was terrible. The cream sauce just doesn't have any flavor and there isn't enough to cover the chicken. We didn't even save the leftovers. : (

This recipe was awful, my husband, who the 6 kids call the garbage can since he will eat anything, took a few bites and looked at me and said, this is awful.

My husband and I are pretty adventurous eaters, but this one got thrown out. The blend of the flavors did not work for either one of us.

I tried this dish becuse I couldn't imagine what it would taste like - well, it is delicious ! So fresh tasting and the chicken was so moist and tender. It does require more prep than most slow cooker recipes, with the flouring and browning of the chicken and the peeling of the potatoes, but my husband's obvious delight while he was eating made it more than worth the extra prep time. Serving it over rice really worked well. The textures and flavors blend well. Will have a request for this again soon, I'm sure!
