Curried Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

This chicken and sweet potato dish is a delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors. I like to add a bit more spice. Make sure to keep the sweet potato chunks large so they keep their integrity over the long cooking time. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

    This recipe was a delicious combination of flavors. One thing I will do next time, though, is to brown the onions before adding. I don't care for the taste raw onions have when mixed into recipes, and I ended up picking them out when I ate it. But I think it would be lovely with sautéed onions.
