Braised Chicken and Sweet Potato Pancakes

So I tried this one a few weeks ago and have made it twice since then. This recipe is what got me my new enamel coated cast iron pot from my hubby. I agree with Rachael Ray on that one, she always says "they way to anybodies anything is through their stomach" and it works for things you want too! So with this recipe I didn't use the fennel it called for because no one in my house like the taste of anise (black licorice) and that's what fennel tastes like so I used celery instead I could have also used leeks but I just happened to have celery. So the chicken dish was a hit/miss because everybody liked it but James wasn't crazy about the white wine taste in the gravy. I also made another recipe as a side and those were a total HIT we have made them like 4 times since then! The sweet potato pancakes were delicious we have made them just like the recipe calls for with a fried egg on top I have also made just the pancakes as a side and I have mixed super sharp cheddar cheese with them and dipped them in sour cream! They are amazing! If you have a picky kid this is the way to sneak onion, carrot, apple and sweet potatoes in their food without them even knowing it! They think they are eating something sweet and crispy, that's it! So here are the links and try it for yourself!
