  3. Add the crushed tomatoes to the spiced broth and mix well.
  4. Add the honey and cilantro, and once blended, pour over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker.
  5. Place the lid and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the chicken has been cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.

  7. Garnish with the reserved bit of cilantro.

Recipe Notes

Note: I wanted it slightly thicker, less soupy, so the last hour or so of cooking, I removed the lid to allow the liquid to evaporate a bit. This is a matter of personal choice.
