Crock-Pot Chicken, Sweet Potatoes, and Peppers

A gluten-free meal made in the slow cooker with chicken, red bell peppers, onions, and sweet potatoes that's sure to please.

Who doesn't love a good crock-pot meal?

Throw everything into a pot; it cooks all day, and dinner is ready when you get home.

I use my crock pot all the time, year-round {it's great in the summer when you don't want to turn your oven on and heat up the already-hot kitchen}.

This Crock-Pot Chicken, Sweet Potatoes, and Peppers is a great fall meal - quick, easy, and comforting.

It takes less than 15 minutes to prepare and cooks for about 6-7 hours.

It's the perfect one-pot meal with satisfying protein {chicken}, filling whole grain carbohydrates {sweet potatoes}, and veggies {onions & bell peppers}.

I love how the onions and bell peppers almost melt and make this flavorful sauce; the sweet potatoes soften and some even melt into the sauce as well.

And it's nicely seasoned with some cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to add a little heat while the sweet potatoes sweeten the meal and balance out the flavors.
