Crockpot Pesto Chicken & Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 3-4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1/3 c pesto (you can find plenty of yummy, “clean” store bought pestos or make your own right at home – here’s a great pesto recipe to try from skinnytaste!)
Directions
- Assemble your crockpot and place your sweet potatoes on one side & the chicken on the other.
- Pour pesto over top chicken.
- Place the lid on your crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours.
- Remove the cooked potatoes (there will be liquid at the bottom of the pot) and set aside.
- Shred chicken (I love to use my kitchen aid mixer for this – just scoop out chicken, pesto and a little liquid).
- Slice open your potatoes, stuff with chicken, and dig in!
Cheers to an easy & healthy dinner!
