1 tsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (32 fluid oz) container vegetable broth
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
2 sweet potatoes, diced
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1 tsp ground black pepper
5 mushrooms, chopped
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp curry powder
5 green onions, chopped
1 bay leaf

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onion and garlic have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker; add onion, garlic, vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, sweet potatoes, quinoa, green onions, mushrooms, curry powder, oregano, pepper, and bay leaf and mix well. Cook on Low until chicken is tender, seven to eight hours.
Discard bay leaf. Remove chicken; shred using two forks and place back into the stew, mixing well before serving. Yields eight servings.
