Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), (15–19 oz)
  • 1 ¾ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 8 oz tri-pepper mix (diced fresh green, red, and yellow bell peppers)
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon chunky garlic stir-in paste
  • 2 ½ cups unsalted chicken stock (or broth)
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Steps

    1. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into ½-inch cubes. Drain chickpeas. Cut chicken into ½-inch pieces and place in slow cooker (wash hands). Add sweet potatoes, both cans of tomatoes (do not drain), chickpeas, tri-pepper mix, seasoning, garlic paste, and stock; cover and cook on HIGH 2 ½–3 hours (or on LOW 4–6 hours) until potatoes are tender and chicken is 165°F.
