Chicken sweet potato quinoa stew in a slow cooker

Hello everyone!! Today I made this super yummy and very healthy stew for dinner. Its hearty and the sweet potatoes melt in your mouth - YUM! I found this recipe on Pinterest but adapted it a little to suit my family's tastes. This recipe is great "man food" and stores great for leftovers! Let me know what you all think!

- 1 lb uncooked chicken breast                   - 1 cup quinoa (I used tri-colored in the picture)
- 5 cups low sodium chicken broth             - 2 large sweet potatoes (cut into chunks)
- 1-2 cups of mushrooms                            - 1 packet chili seasoning
- 15 oz. canned diced tomatoes                  - 1 tsp chopped garlic

Place uncooked chicken breasts on bottom of slow cooker and pour all other ingredients on top (make sure to stir in the quinoa so it doesn't just float on top). Cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours (mine does well with 5). Once done cooking shred chicken with two forks in slow cooker and serve!

Serves 8: approximately 230 calories per serving
