Santa Fe Chicken Stew image

I was experimenting to create a stew similar to one I tasted when I was young. This is the result. My family asks me to make it so often that I am quickly becoming burned out on it! LOL. It has amazing flavor and if you like a thick stew, this is for you!

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, so I used mild peppers. The stew was still flavorful and delicious.
