Recipe Instructions

Lightly spray a covered nonstick pot with cooking spray. Add the chicken and brown over high heat for 2 minutes, turning chicken once. Lower the heat and transfer the chicken to a plate. Set aside.

Add all remaining ingredients to the pot except the reserved chicken pieces. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.

Return the chicken to the pot, cover, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is barely falling off the bones.

Divide the sweet potatoes and chicken between 4 shallow soup plates. Raise the heat under the pot and reduce the sauce for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour some of the mixture over each serving; serve at once.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
