Ingredients:

  • 2 large chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • olive oil (2 or so tablespoons)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 large sweet potato, cut into 1-cm (1/2 inch) cubes (approx 4 cups)
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 red onion, cut into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1 can black beans, drained (540mL/18 oz)

  • greek yogurt (to serve)

Preparation:

  • In a large skillet or pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chicken, and brown (approximately 6 minutes).
  • Don't worry about cooking it right through.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate.
  • Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
  • Add the sweet potato, and cook for 10-12 minutes, until browned.
  • I found it browned better when I didn't stir it too frequently, only every 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the bell peppers, red onion, chili powder, cumin, salt and chicken stock.
  • Return the chicken to the pan.
  • Stir so that everything is well combined.
  • Cover and cook for another 10 or so minutes, stirring once or twice.
  • Chicken and sweet potato should be cooked through.
  • Add the black beans and lime zest, and cook until heated through.
  • Taste for salt, and add more if needed.
  • Serve immediately with lime wedges and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
