Steps
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the peeled sweet potato, diced orange bell pepper, diced chicken, diced tomatoes, and 2 cups of water.
- Season the mixture with salt, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, and red pepper flakes. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
- Dissolve the all-purpose flour in 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the boiling stew.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 10 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, stir in the frozen corn and drained kidney beans. Cook for a few more minutes until heated through.
