28 oz fresh sweet potatoes
Aluminum foil

1/4 cup Olive Oil

Here is how you make Pesto Chicken and Sweet Potato Layered Slow Cooker Dinner:

Place all pesto ingredients in a food processor and blend thoroughly. Taste and season now, if necessary. We like lemon, so added another tablespoon and blended it again.Wash the sweet potatoes and prick them with a fork. Ours were quite large, so I cut them in half for better cooking time.Put the chicken in the bottom of the pot (frozen is okay) and layer the mozzarella on top, then spread the pesto over all and cover it with a layer of aluminum foil (or parchment paper). Add the sweet potatoes, cover and cook on low 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 4 to 5.Serve up the potatoes with tongs. We like ours with just margarine on, but serve with some cinnamon on the table if you like it that way. Be careful taking the foil out - there will be hot steam underneath it.We also served steamed Brussels sprouts on the side.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LEAKAY59.
