• 4 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Pound (lb) sweet potato, peeled
• 1 Whole orange bell pepper, diced
• 1 Pound (lb) cooked chicken breast, diced
• 28 Ounces (oz) can diced tomatoes
• 2 Cups water
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) chili powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cumin
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried oregano
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) cocoa powder
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cinnamon
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) red pepper flakes
• 1.5 Tablespoons (tbsp) all-purpose flour
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) water
• 1 Cup frozen corn
• 16 Ounces (oz) can kidney beans, drained
• 0.5 Cup fresh cilantro, minced

Steps

1. 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.
2. Stir in the peeled sweet potato, diced orange bell pepper, diced chicken, diced tomatoes, and 2 cups of water.
3. 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.
4. Dissolve the all-purpose flour in 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the boiling stew.
5. 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.
6. Once the sweet potatoes are done, stir in the frozen corn and drained kidney beans. Cook for a few more minutes until heated through.
7. Stir in the minced fresh cilantro just before serving.
