Steps

30 minutes
  1. 1

    First, add the oil to a pot. When it’s hot, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Let them cook until they start to brown, then add the chicken breast cut into large pieces. Add the potatoes, cut into not-too-large pieces so they cook faster. Mix well, and after the chicken has browned a bit, add some tomato sauce, then the sweet potato, salt, and seasonings to taste.

  2. 2

    Once everything is in the pot, reduce the heat to medium—not too low, not too high! Stir every 10 minutes or so. Add a small glass of water, cover, and let it cook until the potatoes are tender. Taste and add more salt if needed. If it gets too dry, add more tomato sauce or water. I love it with extra sauce because I always serve it with rice and like to pour the sauce on top.

  3. 3

    Don’t forget to stir often and keep an eye on the sweet potato. If you cut it smaller than the potatoes, it might fall apart—sweet potato cooks faster, so cut it into larger pieces or add it a few minutes after the other ingredients start cooking. This recipe serves 3 or 4 people and turns out delicious! If you make it, I’d love to see a photo of how it turned out, and if it’s your first stew, let me know!

Amo cocinar y preparar cosas ricas para mi familia! Para mi estar en la cocina es como una terapia,es mi lugar favorito de la casa, es donde me olvido de los problemas y en donde descargo el estrés! Tengo un sólo hijo, se llama Santiago y junto a mi esposo son las personas que más amo en la vida y son mi mayor inspiración para cocinar. "Vivimos en un mundo cada vez más conectado, los últimos descubrimientos confirman lo que sabios de la Antigüedad ya conocían y practicaban, el Universo es uno y todo está relacionado,conectado de manera total e invisible."Que el alimento sea tu medicamento y que tu medicamento sea tu alimento" están hoy más vigentes que nunca, porque una de las conexiones más directas que tiene nuestro cuerpo con el medio, la naturaleza a la que pertenece y de la que forma parte es la Comida! Una buena alimentación evita carencias y excesos, a través de los alimentos podemos disponer de herramientas para mantener altas las defensas, evitando riesgos y preservando nuestra salud!Desde hace varios años comencé con una intolerancia al gluten y a la lactosa , tuve meses que tenia 0 de tolerancia a ambas y otros que podía comer normal. Actualmente puedo consumir poco gluten porque me genera alergia en la piel y mucho estreñimiento por eso verán en mis recetas que la mayoría son aptas para celíacos. Espero les sea de utilidad y si preparan algunas de mis recetas me encantaría ver la foto de como les quedó.
