Slow Cooker Chicken Sweet Potato Quinoa Stew

Ingredients •1 T dried minced onion •tsp. jarred minced garlic •2½ cups cooked chopped chicken (could use more) •2 14½ oz. cans chicken broth (if it seems dry, add more) •1 T chili powder •¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes •½ cup quinoa, rinsed •2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed •1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed •2 16 oz. cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed •1 28 oz can petite diced tomatoes with garlic and olive oil (this is different than the original recipe and added so much flavor) •Salt and pepper to taste Instructions I mixed everything lightly in the crock pot, and then let it simmer on low all day till dinner (about 8 hours). I like adding extra chicken, nixing the extra broth, and I add a cup of quinoa about an hour before dinner instead of half a cup at the beginning. It ends up being too thick for a stew, but too liquid for a casserole - so good.
