Glazed Chicken with Fruit and Sweet Potatoes

Recommendations: brown chicken in skillet first, or it will look pasty white even when cooked according to recipe instructions. Cut the sweet potato into pieces about half of what the recipe instructs or you'll find yourself leaving them in the pan to soften even after the chicken is done. I only had about half of a 6-oz package of dried fruit pieces and I thought the amount was sufficient. While using the full 6 oz wouldn't hurt, you may have to add extra broth, as much of mine was soaked up by the dried fruit. The broth I had left had to be thickened with cornstarch even after the chicken was cooked and the sweet potatoes were left in to cook longer. I thought the sauce was a bit sweet for my taste, but not distracting. Next time I'll probably just substitute half the broth for apple cider and leave out most or all of the sugar.
