2 cups water

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 slices of bacon, chopped
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into approximately 1 inch pieces
1/2 of a yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup diced celery
1 cup diced carrots
1 1/2 teaspoons grated garlic
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into approximately 2 inch chunks
3/4 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons low sodium tamari or soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
4 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons chicken broth or water, whisked together to form a slurry
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

Steps:

Simmer the stew until the sweet potatoes are fork tender, about 20-25 minutes. 6. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the pot and stir everything together. Bring the stew to a boil and continue to stir until it thickens. Remove from the heat and taste for seasoning. Top with chopped parsley and serve.

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.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 breasts)
1 tablespoon oil
1 medium onion, quartered and sliced thin
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cups apple juice or 1 1/2 cups apple cider
2 cups cubed peeled sweet potatoes, 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups green beans, fresh or frozen

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.

Conclusion:

Chicken and sweet potato stew is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
