HERE'S ALL IT TAKES

Serves 4

• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
• 2 teaspoon oil
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 1 pound chicken breasts, bare & boneless, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes, spicy
• 1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, drained

Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan.  Add enough water just to cover them.  Bring to a boil over high heat.  Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until almost tender.  Drain well with a colander.  Set aside.

Using the same large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat and cook onion for 5 minutes.  Add chicken, garlic and chili powder and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.  Stir frequently.  Add tomatoes with their juices, beans and partially cooked sweet potatoes.  Bring to a boil over high heat.  Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
