Slow-Cooker Malaysian Chicken image

Malaysian food has influences from the Malays, Chinese, Indians, Thai, Portuguese and British. In this dish, Asian ingredients combine for maximum flavor, and the sweet potatoes help to thicken the sauce as the dish slowly cooks. -Suzanne Banfield, Basking Ridge, New Jersey
