I love chicken enchiladas, which is probably obvious by all my enchiladas recipes, like this classic one and these enchiladas verdes. So, I figured why not switch it up and take the enchilada filling and put it on top of a sweet potato instead. The results were delicious!
This recipe is a one-pot meal, all made in the slow cooker if using jarred enchilada sauce. That being said, I highly recommend using my homemade enchilada sauce recipe. It makes all the difference and is pretty quick to make.
For the best results, you will need a 6-quart slow cooker to make this dish. You need enough room to cook four potatoes and chicken breasts. Of course, if you don’t have a large enough crockpot, you can always bake the sweet potatoes.
Meal Prep
These healthy chicken enchilada sweet potatoes are a very filling and easy dinner. They’d be great for meal prep. You can cook the chicken and potatoes ahead of time and then stuff the potatoes and add the toppings before eating.
