My mother-in-law passed down this foolproof November dinner secret. Just 4 simple ingredients cooked low and slow until the natural sweetness caramelizes and smells incredible.
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs | 2 pounds |
| Large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks | 2 |
| Apple juice | 1 cup |
| Onion soup mix | 1 packet |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Layer the Base: Lightly grease the slow cooker if desired. Place the 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, in the bottom of the slow cooker, then lay the 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs evenly on top.
-
Combine and Pour Sauce: In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the 1 cup of apple juice and 1 packet of onion soup mix. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken and sweet potatoes so everything is nicely coated.
-
Slow Cook to Tender: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is very tender and the sweet potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork.
-
Shred and Serve: Shred or break up the chicken gently with two forks right in the pot, stir it lightly into the sweet potatoes and warm juices, and serve while nice and hot.
