Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew

Tagged with:

We were given a ton of sweet potatoes from some generous friends who were growing them, and so I was trying to find good sweet potato recipes ... Anyways, I made this, and I significantly deviated from the original recipe, and I wanted to document what I did so I could make it again ... This seems sort of like a winter recipe except the fresh basil - which can't be left out, this makes dish - makes it ok for summer (at least to me). -- posted by larchie ...

A chunky sweet and tart condiment/spread made with blueberries, figs, and cranberries. Spiced with onions, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and rosemary. Chutneys are traditionally served with curried foods, but do try this on ham, chicken, roast pork, wild game or your Thanksgiving turkey. Also nice on meat and cheese platters.

This makes a very flavorfull grilled chicken ... Because it has the liquid smoke in it, the chicken can also be baked and still have a smoky flavor ... I use this for grilled fajitas or grilled chicken soft tacos. -- posted by Amber 505 ...

These are the equivalent of Jamaican Patties, in that they are most always served for all occasions. :) Raather than the more traditional pâté, a spicy & tasty chicken picadillo is made and then whirred up for a filling in these first-course puff-pastry packets. The filling is then sealed in the dough and baked. It's highly spiced for sure but also very aromatic, a nice start to any meal.;) Cooking Light Magazine, May 2010 edition. My nurse, Babara, who is now retiring - goes by the Haitian
