Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth.
  3. Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and evaporated skimmed milk until well combined.
  4. Spread the sweet potato mixture around the inside edge of a 10-inch round casserole dish, forming a thick ring, leaving the center empty.
  5. Place a medium non-stick skillet over low heat and add the fat-free chicken broth.
  6. Add the minced onion and drained water chestnuts to the skillet; cook gently until the onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Stir in the cream of chicken soup (or white sauce), cubed chicken, and 3 tablespoons of water.
  8. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is heated through and the sauce is bubbling, about 5 minutes.
  9. Spoon the hot chicken mixture into the center of the sweet potato ring in the casserole dish.
  10. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbling throughout.
  11. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
