Chicken, Collard Greens, and Sweet Potato Stew image

Searing the chicken first creates a tasty fond (the caramelized bits at the bottom of the pan) for the broth. Add the cooked, shredded chicken to the pot at the very end for guaranteed tender, flavorful meat (versus the rubbery, overcooked alternative).

CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO STEW



Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew image

Found this on the internet while looking for recipes from Holland. Using cider as the liquid in this stew makes it quite different from many of the chicken and sweet potato stews found here on Recipezaar. While not an authentic addition, I like to add a bit of ginger to this as a peppery contrast to the sweetness of the cider and sweet potatoes.
