When my mother was pregnant with me, one of the only things she could eat was home-canned peaches. To this day, I love, love recipes with peaches. This dish is so delicious and fills the house with such wonderful aromas, you'll hardly be able to wait to make it.—Sandra Bonow, Lewiston, Minnesota Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed |
1 medium onion, chopped |
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds) |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 cup peach preserves |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/2 cup cold water |
Directions:
1. In a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker, combine sweet potatoes and onion. Sprinkle chicken with paprika, thyme, salt and cayenne; arrange over sweet potatoes. Top with preserves. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until chicken and potatoes are tender. 2. Remove chicken and vegetables to a serving platter; keep warm.
