Spicy Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew image

Adapted from a recipe by RCKim at allrecipes.com. "With flavors reminiscent of Morocco and Mexico, this easy yet richly-flavored stew contains loads of chicken, vegetables, and some surprising spices! If desired, pass lime wedges to squeeze over individual servings." Tastes even better the second day.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and cubed
1 lb cooked chicken breast, cubed
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
1 cup frozen corn
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 minute or until fragrant.
  • Stir in sweet potato, bell pepper, chicken, tomatoes, and 2 cups of water. Season with salt, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and red pepper flakes. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
  • Dissolve flour in 2 tablespoons water, and stir into boiling stew. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, 10 to 20 minutes. Stir the stew occasionally to keep it from sticking.
  • Once the potatoes are done, stir in corn and kidney beans. Cook a few minutes until hot, then stir in sour cream and cilantro before serving.

This stew was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I thought this stew was just ok. The chicken was a bit tough and the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste.

This stew was easy to make and very tasty! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they cooked perfectly in the stew. The sweet potatoes were also cooked perfectly and added a nice sweetness to the dish.

This stew was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a little bland. I think it could have used more spices.
