from the original recipe..."The natural creamy sweet flesh makes the perfect flavor foil for spicy chilies, pungent cilantro and fragrant cracked cumin. The sweet potato chunks tend to soak up the flavors and concentrate spices".

INGREDIENTS

1 tbs olive oil
1 medium onion
1 large red peper ; seeded and chopped
1 pound chicken breast ; chopped
1 15 oz can cannellini beans ; drained and rinsed
1 cup chicken stock
2.5 cups water

1 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
1 teaspoon cumin
2 ounces canned diced chilies or 1 fresh jalepeno ; be careful this is what makes it hot
1 bunch cilantro

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and saute the onion, red pepper and garlic until firm-tender.

Add the chicken breast and saute' for 2 minutes, until opaque. Add the beans, stock, water, potatos, red chili flakes, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper and chillies.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

top with fresh cilantro when in season

NOTES

The original recipe also called for 2 teaspoons of chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper--you can experiment with these spices but I had to take them out in order to keep the chili from ending up too hot.

Once you've put all the ingredients in the pot, don't cook for too long. Sweet potatos cook very quickly.

As with most chili's...this recipe tastes better and better as the days go by.
