directions

Step 1

In shallow Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer chicken to bowl. Drain all but 1 tablespoon (15 mL) fat from pan; return to stovetop over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; cook, stirring often, until golden, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add water, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, bay leaf, pepper and hot pepper flakes, if using. In single layer, return chicken and any accumulated juices to pan; top with layer of sweet potatoes.

Step 3

Bring to boil; cover and simmer over medium-low heat until potatoes are tender and juices run clear when chicken is pierced, 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 4

Discard bay leaf. Sprinkle with green onions. Serve chicken and potatoes with sauce spooned overtop.
