This recipe for Crock-Pot Creamy Chicken and Sweet Potatoes is both delicious and healthy! Make up this yummy one-pot slow cooker meal and enjoy!

Crock-Pot Creamy Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

This recipe for Crock-Pot Creamy Chicken and Sweet Potatoes came about because I had purchased a bag of sweet potatoes at our local Aldi grocery store at a great price. I just cannot seem to pass up on a good deal!

I already had in mind that I wanted to make a main dish for dinner with the sweet potatoes instead of a typical side dish that you would see at the holidays when most of us, I dare say, eat sweet potatoes.

I don’t know why I don’t eat them more often, they are SO yummy and healthy for you too. Packing all sorts of vitamins and minerals.

The sweet potatoes are cubed up and cooked with chicken. Chive and onion flavored cream cheese adds a just the right amount of creaminess to the whole dish. And a little maple syrup brings out the sweetness in the sweet potatoes and ties the whole thing together.

Because I am horrible about remembering to thaw meat out ahead of time I just used frozen chicken breasts straight from the freezer. There really isn’t any difference in cooking time.

I cooked this dish in my large 6.5 quart slow cooker but you can cook it any slow cooker that is larger than 5 quarts. Just use enough cubed sweet potatoes so that your cooker is not filled more than 3/4 of the way full. If your sweet potatoes are smaller or larger than “average” then just eyeball it.

    When you say drizzle the melted cream cheese , after all cooked.. do you mean drizzle what’s left in bottom of crock pot? Or adding more cream cheese than what’s listed in ingredients ? Thank you! I’m not very good at cooking without exact directions 😩. Sorry!

    I made this recipe about a week ago and had many comments about the variety of ingredients.
    However, when it was time to eat everyone enjoyed it and the chicken was so tender and,tasted delicious.
    The combination of ingredients were perfect.
    My only negative comment would be that this recipe did not have “eye” appeal, at least to my family. Nevertheless, they thoroughly enjoyed it once they started eating. Thank you for sharing. Will make this again.

      Thanks for your feedback and comment Sally. Sometimes, slow cooker meals are super tasty but not always pretty.

    Has anyone ever tried to double this recipe in one crockpot, using 12 chicken breasts & more sweet potatoes? If so, how did it come out? I’m asking because I have a 7 or 8 quart crockpot & I’m just wondering if it’s okay to put that many chicken breasts & sweet potatoes in a crockpot at the same time & if everything will cook evenly.
