Expert Tips

There are two types of sweet potatoes available in most supermarkets. Dark-skinned sweet potatoes with deep orange flesh are more moister and sweeter than the pale-skinned variety with light yellow flesh. For this recipe, the dark-skinned sweet potatoes are ideal.

The dish was okay but not great. The chicken was moist and falling off the bones. I had too much liquid at the end and the sweet potatoes were mushy. Maybe I didn't need both the chicken broth and the juice from the pineapple (half of a large can since I could not find a smaller can). I may try it again but I‘m also tempted to try these ingredients in a hot oven.
