Spiced Chicken & Sweet Potato

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

This remains one of our big favourites.

Thanks ILB and Chelsea (for your tweaks) went down well and I will be making it again. We had it with extra steamed veg and brown rice, very yummy

Thanks for bumping this - I haven't made it for AGES

Made this tonight on someone's recommendation. The chicken and sweet potato was beautiful, the rice mostly not cooked and the bottom of my TMX is now totally black. Looking back (I checked off what I had done and and am absolutely sure everything was right) I don't think there is enough liquid with 1 tin of tomatoes and 1/2 cup of water for 45 minutes of varoma cooking. Off now to clean the bowl but not expecting much success as the sauce didn't just stick but the whole thing is black. There was about 1/4 cup of very thick (almost tomato paste) sauce left in the bottom. My second only and worst ever failure!

Oh dear!

One other person had the same problem Twitterpated but everyone else seems happy with it.  I have not made it for some time but I loved it. Chelsea adds 200mls of water. All this doesn't help you clean your black bottom though and hopefully if you soak it overnight, it will not be too hard in the morning. Let us know how you go with it.

perhaps try soaking with a generous amount of bicarb (I seem to remember my mum doing that)

It does need a bit more water. Did you cook the rice in the basket while the sauce (and everything else) was cooking?  The rice needs to be cooked beforehand as there isn't enough liquid in the sauce to cook the rice at the same time.

Will try again with your tweaks. Thanks for posting. BTW I did eventually get the bowl clean.

Thank goodness for that.

Wow! I can't believe I have never found this recipe before! It is fantastic! We followed the tweaks that Chelsea recommended and it was delicious! No-one was particularly thrilled with the sweet potato but everything else was really yummy! Definitely going to be on the menu again.

Great idea. Good for kids and the low carb lovers too - just down the amount of sweet potato. This will be next on the list!

Had this a couple of nights ago, and it was fabulous.  Will make it a regular for sure.  Hubby had it on Garlic Rice.

I love how this recipe is an all-in-one!! The chicken was tender and moist, as were the sweet potatoes. I found I needed to add a lot more of the spices as the amounts written weren't sufficient. Having said that, I would definitely make this recipe again as it's a set and forget. So easy!!

Bumping this.  It's on the menu for this week.
