This chicken, sweet potato, and black bean stew is healthy, slightly smoky, and slightly sweet. It’s packed with nutrients, gluten-free, grain-free, and absolutely delicious! Plus, you can make it in about 30 minutes.
INGREDIENTS: • 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 heaping teaspoon smoked paprika • salt and pepper, to taste • 2 small-medium sweet potatoes, diced (about 3-4 cups total) • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (such as rotisserie) • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish 4. Use a potato masher (or immersion blender) to mash the soup a few times to thicken it up a bit. 5. Turn the heat off and add the chicken and parsley. Stir and allow to sit for a minute or so to make sure the chicken gets warmed through. 6. Serve hot garnished with extra fresh parsley.
• 1 large onion, diced • 4 cups chicken broth • 1 14-oz. can (small can) fire roasted diced tomatoes • 1 15-oz. can (small can) black beans, or 1.5 cups cooked black beans, drained and rinsed DIRECTIONS: 1. Saute the onion in olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat until soft (2-3 minutes) 2. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, beans, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. 3. Turn the heat to low and add the sweet potatoes. Simmer until sweet potatoes are cooked through, approximately 15 minutes (depending on how small you cut them). NOTES: • To make this Paleo/whole30 compliant, omit the beans. • To make this vegetarian/vegan, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth. • For a little spiciness, add a little bit of cayenne pepper with the smoked paprika.
• Freeze the leftovers in an airtight container or bag for up to 6 months. • If you don’t already have cooked chicken, poach raw chicken in boiling water while you are preparing steps 1-4 for about 20 minutes. Shred with two forks and add to stew during step 5. • To make this meal go even further, serve it over a grain like brown rice or quinoa.
