Slow Cooker Yam Chicken Florentine |
With my non-stick pot that's sprayed with PAM, I've learned to place a hard veggie on the bottom. Learning the hard way that meat can become too crispy & tasteless if placed on the bottom of the pot, first.
Today, a large Yam was substituted for a white Potato that I usually use. A couple of days ago we enjoyed Baked Potatoes at dinner, so white Potatoes were not going to be repeated. Oh, what a great difference a Yam makes! While enjoying this one pot meal, every bite contained a sweetness from the Yam! Now, I'll always use this veggie when making this Slow Cooker/ Crock Pot dinner.

Sounds delicious and a great combo of ingredients!
Pam- Using a Yam instead of a white Potato- amazing the flavor it adds.
