Sweet Potato Chicken Stew Recipe

I love stew. And I love my crock pot. But I'm not a big beef eater, and I try to stay away from white potatoes. So this variation on a popular fall favorite, was a MUST.

So what's in it?

4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, raw, cut into 1" - 2" cubes

3 large Sweet Potatoes, cut into 1" cubes

1 large Vidalia Onion, cubed

1/2 bag baby carrots

1 container sliced baby bella mushrooms (any kind will do)

1/2C beef broth

1/2C red wine

1 teaspoon salt free seasoning blend

Honest, that's it - I like to keep it as simple as possible!!

Partially cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave so they're easier to cut into 1" cubes.

Turn on your crock pot (I did 3 hours on high, and then 2 on low)

Throw everything in.

Mix it up.

Mix a couple times during cooking so the chicken doesn't all stick together as it cooks.

Cool and serve!!

Makes approx 8 servings!

Following the 21 Day Fix/Country Heat/Hammer & Chisel meal plans?

1 serving = 1 red, 1 yellow, 1/2 green

21 Day Fix Approved Baked Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

It's been a while since I shared a recipe here - I'll just chalk it up to it being a super busy summer! But tonight I made something newish (a slant on an old favorite) and it came out so tasty, you need to know about it!

Keeping it short and simple because really, you want the recipe; not my life story.

Ingredients: 

4 Large Sweet Potatoes

1 Bag Frozen Chopped Spinach

1 lb. ground turkey

Black Pepper to taste

Turmeric to taste

Sea Salt to taste

Cook potatoes thoroughly either in the oven or the microwave.
Cool completely (I left mine for about 4 hours)

Cut potatoes in half and scoop out insides, leaving about 1/4-1/2inch thick so the skin doesn't fall apart. Set aside

In a large saucepan, brown ground turkey.
Add spinach.
Add sweet potato guts.
Season till you like the way it tastes. Place skins in a large pan, skin side down, and stuff 'em.

Simple as that!!!

Following the 21 Day Fix meal plan? 1 skin (as shown above) = 1 yellow (possibly 1 1/2 depending on how full you stuff it, and how big your potatoes are), 1/2 red, 1/2 green
