Slow-Cooker Chicken & Sweet Potato Chili
I'm a college student and one of the things I miss the most at school is my mom's wonderful cooking. This slow cooker recipe is something I can make in my dorm on a busy Sunday. I just throw it all in the slow cooker before I leave for church and come back to piping hot homemade comfort food. Be sure to serve with a good sprinkle of cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and plenty of tortilla chips. —Bailey Starkey, Mount Vernon, Washington

So delicious and easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly, set my crockpot for 6 hours and it was enjoyed by all of my New year's party guests. I served it with restaurant style tortilla chips, sour cream, chopped jalepenos, chives and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. One of my guests commented on the hint of cinnamon he tasted! :-)
My frozen corn seemed a little past its prime so I opted to cut fresh corn off the cob. Everyone really enjoyed this meal and requested I put it in our book of favorites. I also cooked it for 4 hours on high because I didn't get it into the crockpot as early as I'd planned. Everything was cooked just fine and I was pleased the potatoes weren't mushy; they were the perfect tenderness for this type of dish.
Love this recipe, it's super easy. I like to saute the onions before adding them so they aren't crunchy, but other than that it's a great recipe with an interesting and different flavor.
We love this recipe! changed it around a bit to add spices on top of sweet potatoes and it flavored them a bit better. Onions and tomatoes etc. on top of the chicken. Very good recipe!
Other than the fact that the sweet potatoes were still hard after all day in a slow cooker, I liked this recipe. Interesting combination of flavors and ingredients. As the other reviewer stated, the cinnamon really flavors this chili.
Excellent! I love how the cinnamon flavors this chili. I didn't have coriander so I used cumin and I made it on the stovetop since I don't have a slow cooker.
