Expert Tips

(Total time will vary with appliance and setting.)

This one-pot meal makes a great supper on a cold winter night. Serve with Bisquick® biscuits and a tossed salad.

If you're not a sweet potato lover, cut regular white potatoes (there's no need to peel) into 2-inch pieces and use instead of the sweet potatoes.

I made this chicken breasts since I prefer white to dark meat, but it still turned out pretty good. The sweet potatoes probably turned out best, far better than I expected.

Tried it with sweet potatoes the first time, but like the white potatoes I used the second time better. My family prefers a turkey breast instead of thighs. This is how we have our Thanksgiving turkey every year. It frees up the oven for other things.
