CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO STEW
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.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs will give your stew the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pan, they won't cook evenly.
- Brown the chicken and vegetables before simmering: This will help to develop their flavor and add depth to the stew.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your stew, so make sure to use a good quality one. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even beef broth.
- Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
- Serve the stew with your favorite sides: Rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables are all great options.
