  1. Hi there- This recipe is a perfect example of a problem I am having. I really want to try the once a month cooking but I keep getting confused on some recipies. If i freeze this recipe as directed, won’t I be freezing chicken that is partially raw and therefore when I let it thaw I will be thawing partially raw chicken. Isnt that a breeding ground for bacteria? Is this okay to do or am I missing something? To further compound the problem; I live in a rural Alaska so much of the chicken and red meat I cook with has all ready been frozen and then thawed before I even begin cooking. I would be refreezing frozen chicken or meat that has not been cooked all the way through. Am I missing something or do I just need to stick to cooking single recipes and not freezing any? That’s what I’ve been doing, but dangit I really like the idea of once a month cooking! I have tried many of the whole foods recipes and the are delicious! Any help will be greatly appreciated- Thank-You!

    1. Julia – you can do this and it is safe. When you add raw meat to other ingredients and then thaw you are ALWAYS cooking those ingredients before consuming. This will kill bacteria. As for freezing, thawing and refreezing as long as you handle it correctly you CAN do it. Here is a post for you to read with some great references: http://onceamonthmom.com/what-

  2. It looks yummy, I love filling, yet inexpensive recipes. I was diagnosed with celiac disease at the end of November, and have felt like I am being punished for having an allergy to gluten ever since. I used to dine at restaurants every day, but I cannot afford it now. In Toronto, there are quite a few good restaurants that offer dishes free of gluten. I have to mention Hibiscus Café, my favourite one. However, $10 for the soup and salad is a bit pricey. That was the main reason why I decided to collect recipes and make my own gluten-free foods. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us.

  3. Yummy! I found your blog recently and love it! We are gluten and dairy free and this is just perfect for our busy family. Thank you!

  4. I made this last night, and it has good flavor, but I don’t understand how it becomes casserole as opposed to just chicken breasts with sweet potatoes. Was I supposed to cube the chicken before searing? Or shred the chicken after cooking?

    1. The chicken should be chopped before adding to the pan. Oops! I added that to the ingredient directions, so it should be clearer now. Thanks for letting me know.

  5. This looks amazing!! I have lupus and my doctor just put me on a very restricted diet. Gluten free, dairy free, no red meat, and no night shade veggies or fruits. I’ve been desperately searching for recipies that I can eat and my kids wont turn their noses up at. This is one I think I can get the kids to eat.

  6. I made this tonight, and I’m so glad I did! It was even a hit with my 3 year old! Of course I found this through good ol’ Google, on a night when I was using only what I had, therefore I didn’t have white wine, coconut milk, or carrots. However, everything was so yummy. And I was full without feeling guilty! This is in my favorites for dinner recipes now!

    1. Jessica – Follow the directions, but do not place into baking dish, instead allow to cool and place in a gallon freezer storage bag.

    1. Jody the wine should in theory cook out mostly. However, yes you can easily add in extra broth as a substitute, or even just white grape juice to still get that flavor without the alcohol.

  7. A person would need a huge skillet (with a burner to match) to actually sear all that chicken in the middle of all of those cubed vegetables; I used
    two large skillets. It doesn’t need a whole hour in a 400 degree oven after cooking the vegetables until lightly browned and considering
    the chicken cubes are mostly cooked too, even if there is a sauce to finish. Also, I think sweet potatoes and carrots are a strange vegetable
    combination. Still it’s tasty!

  8. My father can eat only gluten, dairy free… and is very picky… i am going to try this tonight over brown rice. He loves sweet potatoes so believe he will enjoy this. Thank you. Oh, he is 91 and it’s fun to try something new for him.

  9. My father, who is 91, can eat only gluten, dairy free and is quite picky. He loves sweet potatoes so I believe He will enjoy this… so will mom. Trying it tonight. Thank you.

    1. I used rice wine vinegar and it’s delicious! It’s got a bit of a bite, but pairs really nicely with the sweet potatoes and carrots. Highly recommend!

    1. This recipe hasn’t been tested in this way, Cindy, so we would be unable to say for certain how it would turn out. However, we would love to hear how it goes for you if you decide to give it a try in this way!

  10. I noticed there is no salt or pepper or any other spice or herb added to this dish and I’m making it tonight for the first time for a party. Could you suggest anything in the way of an interesting flavor inhanser?

    1. Hi Allison, although this recipe hasn’t been tested using other ingredients, we encourage our members to flavor to taste! We believe you will find that sweet potato is nicely enhanced with salt and pepper.

  11. Thank you for a delicious recipe and so quick and easy to follow. I didn’t have the white wine so substituted 1/2cup red wine vinegar and half cup extra coconut milk.
    The dish was scrumptious and enjoyed by all.

    1. Thanks so much for your feedback on your alterations to this recipe! 🙂 We’re so happy to hear it was a hit!

    1. Hi Suzy! Yes, you should be able to use fresh sweet potatoes! You’ll just want to make sure to dice and cook them down to as closely as the same consistency as canned potatoes. We hope this helps!

  12. I typically like more ethnic food, especially since our family is celiac so it’s often naturally gluten free. This dish wasn’t my favorite, and maybe it’s because I was expecting something else. I didn’t like the white wine mix with the chicken stock. I’m still eating it for leftovers, as my husband hates sweet potatoes, but I won’t make it again.

    1. Hello! Yes, you can most definitely make those substitutions! You will just need to play around with the cooking time a bit as it may likely need to be adjusted. Come back and let us know how it goes!
