CHIPOTLE CHICKEN STEW

Chipotle Chicken Stew image

This is a great fall or winter stew that I have been making for several years and is also very nutritious. It has a great Southwestern flavor with a spicy kick to it, and is very easy to throw together as it all cooks in one pot. It is also good topped with low-fat cheese and/or sour cream after serving into bowls. Serve with a salad, rolls, or tortilla chips.
