Steps:

• Arrange the chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker. Chicken may be used frozen.
• Layer on the mozzarella cheese.

• Scrub sweet potatoes well and prick with a fork or other puncturing object.
• Lay them on top of the foil or parchment, of course.

• If your chicken is frozen, it will take longer.

• Enjoy!
