Fall is very rapidly approaching.  Using the Free Bean Pot Recipes in this blog will become a favorite of yours. This recipe is not very costly to make. Enjoy the recipe and leave me a comment. I would like to hear from those viewing this blog. 

4 Qt. Berry Bean Pot 

Chicken & Sweet Potato Stew

  • 6 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed, trimmed of fat
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into spears
  • 1 cup of baby carrots or more if you desire
  • 1/2 pound white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 6 large shallots (OR onions of your choice), peeled and halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
 Directions

Place chicken, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, shallots/onions, garlic, broth, rosemary, salt and pepper in your Bean Pot; stir to combine. Put the lid on and bake on 325 degrees until the potatoes are tender, about 2 hours. Before serving, remove bones from the chicken, if desired, and stir in vinegar.


    Food for thought:  In the busy days that everyone seems to be having I hear that dinner time around a dining table does not happen in many homes.  Make it an important habit to sit when eating meals.  I have been told that it will affect your mindset and your meal.  Sit down and eat with others whenever possible.  One of my favorite times as our children were growing up was when we were all together around our table and we shared what had happened that day.

    America we need to come   back to the Dinner Table.
    If you live alone, start a supper club and take turns cooking.
