Crockpot Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

If your family likes dark meat, this is the alternative Thanksgiving menu for you. Crockpot Chicken and Sweet Potatoes is the centerpiece of a delicious and easy menu perfect for Thanksgiving or any time you entertain. For this recipe, you can use chicken thighs or turkey thighs. If you choose turkey, cut the thigh meat into pieces about 3" x 4" so they will cook in the same amount of time.

I love the combination of flavors and textures in this menu. The poultry is tender, and the sweet potatoes are the perfect consistency. You can make the recipe as spicy or mild as you like by changing the amount of peppers and curry powder. A small amount of curry powder won't be noticeable; it will just add a depth of flavor to the recipe.

Enjoy this easy menu for Thanksgiving.
