Pineapple Chicken & Sweet Potatoes
Source: KSL 5 Recipe Page

2/3 cup plus 3 tbsp. flour, divided
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. black pepper
6 chicken breasts
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 can cream of chicken soup (I used Campbells "Healthy Request")
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
2 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. grated orange peel

Combine 2/3 cup flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, onion powder, and pepper in large bowl. Coat chicken in flour mixture. Place sweet potatoes on bottom of slow cooker. Top with chicken.

Combine soup, pineapple juice, mushrooms, remaining 3 tbsp. flour, brown sugar and orange peel in medium bowl; stir well. Pour soup mixture into slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low 8-10 hours or High 3-4 hours. I used frozen chicken breast. Started on High for 4 hours and then turned down to Low when I could tell the chicken and sweet potatoes were cooked.

Serve chicken and sweet potatoes over hot cooked rice. Makes 6 servings.

This recipe has some very strong and unusual pairing of ingrediance. Very flavorful. We love sweet potatoes (and when I say "sweet potatoes," I'm mean yams). The kids enjoyed dinner as well. Very good just know it is unlike anything you have ever tasted.

(Sorry, no pictures, we ate it too fast).
