Fiery Chicken & Sweet Potato Stew
  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potato, bell pepper, chicken, tomatoes, and 2 cups of water. Season with salt, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and red pepper flakes. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Dissolve flour in 2 tablespoons water, then stir it into the boiling stew. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender but still slightly firm, 10 to 20 minutes. Stir the stew occasionally to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    When the potatoes are done, stir in the corn and kidney beans. Cook for a few minutes until heated through, then stir in cilantro just before serving.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
