Crockpot 3 Ingredient Chicken & Sweet Potatoes is such an easy freeze slow cooker supper and it’s whole 30 compliant, gluten free and healthy too! But most important is that it tastes great with so few ingredients. You only need chicken, sweet potatoes and chicken broth plus spices. You do not have to add the spices but I wanted to give this dish some deep, full flavor so I suggest you add them. This is the perfect recipe for fall!
A while back I had some chicken and sweet potatoes that I needed to use or they were going to go bad. So I cubed the chicken and added to a freezer bag. I then peeled and cubed the sweet potatoes and added them to the bag. I froze the bag in the freezer. So one morning I was looking to see what I was going to make for dinner that night and came across it. I decided to create this recipe using my leftovers.
I decided all I needed was some chicken broth and spices to make a great healthy dish. I put the frozen chicken and sweet potatoes in the crockpot. (You can certainly use fresh chicken and sweet potatoes too!) Next I added a can of chicken broth. Then I added salt, pepper and minced onion on top. I let it slow cook all day and let me just say the end result was ah-mazing! Be sure to try this easy, delicious Crockpot 3 Ingredient Chicken and Sweet Potatoes freezer meal! I am so happy for these leftovers because they helped me create a delicous dinner recipe the whole family loved.

November 5, 2017 at 3:55 pmI actually use “it’s better than bullion ” chicken paste or cubes. It’s less than $6 and the whole jar of paste lasts me a few months. It’s 1 tbs to 8oz of water and is great for soups or just to moisten and flavor meals. I prefer it over the cans of chicken stock. I use the low sodium.

July 23, 2016 at 4:53 pmReally dumb question but when you originally put your chicken and sweet potatoes in the freezer, was your chicken already cooked and just needed eaten or was it a fresh breast you just cut up and threw in with the potatoes? Want to prep that stuff tonight and make it something I throw in later in this week one morning. Thanks!

July 25, 2016 at 4:06 pmIt was not cooked (raw)

September 26, 2016 at 8:13 pmHi, I already froze two chicken breasts and would like to use them for this recipe. Can you use whole chicken breasts (frozen or thawed) for the recipe and cut them up later? And if so, how much longer would you need to let the chicken cook in the slowcooker?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
September 29, 2016 at 1:54 pmI have made this with frozen (not thawed) and really didn’t add any additional time 🙂

October 13, 2016 at 2:04 pmRecipe sounds great! I want to make for dinner tonight..do you think it’s possible to cook on high? Also, do you think it would taste good over rice?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
October 13, 2016 at 3:58 pmYes and yes 🙂

October 20, 2016 at 12:55 pmIf I wanted to add frozen peas of green beans, would I add them in toward the end?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
October 20, 2016 at 5:41 pmI would add fresh green beans at the start. I would add frozen at the end.

November 6, 2016 at 3:14 pmQuick question: Would this be good with butter beans thrown in?
I’m trying to get my other half & my son to eat a bigger variety of… well… everything! Haha.
& I’ve got a couple of tins of beans in my cupboard.
I’m thinking add them towards the end?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
November 6, 2016 at 3:36 pmYes! I think that sounds good. I would add towards the end so they don’t get mushy.

December 11, 2016 at 4:45 pmI am not a cook. That said, I made this without using pepper and onions. Since it needed something to give it a bit more flavor, I made a small bowl and tried adding maple syrup and pecans. Yummy. To make it a bit different I tried another bowl with cranberry sauce instead of the syrup. YES! If you do this, be sure to top it off with added pecans before enjoying.
It’s like a thanksgiving pot pie. If I had stuffing, I imagine that would make it even better, like leftovers altogether. 🙂

November 12, 2017 at 4:58 pmDelicious!! I actually used fresh chicken & sweet potatoes, 4hrs low 2hrs high. I actually added half an onion and a whole green pepper. It just seemed to be missing something, so I added two cloves in the 5th hr, it came out perfect. I’m thinking about a bit of ginger and maybe some cornbread also next time. Great recipe!!
