Provided by aerin8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 and 1⁄2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ⁄2 cup chopped onion
5 cups chicken broth
2 sweet potatoes, peeled
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 ⁄2 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper
Special Equipment: Slow Cooker

Steps:

1. Cut chicken into 1 inch cubes. Add olive oil and chicken to a large skillet over medium-high to high heat, browning well, about 4 minutes each side. When meat is almost browned, add onions to cook just until they sweat. 2. Transfer chicken and onions to a slow cooker set to low. Add some of the chicken broth to the skillet the chicken was cooked in, and use a spatula to scrape the bottom, breaking up any glaze the chicken may have left in the pan. Pour over chicken and onions in slow cooker, and then pour in remaining chicken broth. 3. Cut sweet potatoes into 1⁄2 inch cubes and add to the cooker, along with poultry seasoning. Stir all. 4. Cover and let cook 6-8 hours, depending on when you are ready to serve. Stir in the heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste. Thicken the stew before serving by mashing a few of the cooked sweet potato cubes into the broth.
