Smoky Sweet Potato Chicken Stoup Recipes

SMOKY SWEET POTATO CHICKEN STOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat a soup pot over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, about 2 turns of the pan. While soup pot heats, chop carrots in half lengthwise then slice into thin half moons. Add the carrots to the pot while it heats, stirring to coat the carrots in the oil. Chop and drop in celery and onion, chopping as small as you can, but don't make yourself crazy. Add the garlic, chipotle, and adobo sauce and stir to combine. Season the veggies with salt, pepper, thyme, and bay leaf. Cook the veggies together 1 minute. Add the wine and reduce a minute. Add the stock to the pot, cover the pot, and raise heat to high. Bring the stoup to a boil, remove the cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into quarters lengthwise, then thinly slice into bite size pieces. Add the cut chicken and sweet potatoes and simmer 5 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through. Turn the heat off and add the scallions and cilantro. Serve each portion of stoup with a dollop of sour cream on top.

MAHOGANY CHICKEN W CHIMICHURRI & SMOKY LIME SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Mahogany Marinade: Mix sugar, mustard, hoisin sauce, vinegar, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Remove 6 tablespoons for later use. Place cubed chicken in a Ziploc bag and add the remaining marinade; refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. (If making Smoky Lime Sweet Potatoes, start potatoes at this point; chicken will be ready to skewer and cook when potatoes are completed.).
• Thread chicken on skewers; discard marinade. Grill skewers, basting with reserved marinade near end of cooking time.
• Chimichurri Sauce: Combine cilantro and garlic in food processor. Pulse until chopped. Add oil in a thin stream with food processor running. Pulse in salt and pepper. Set aside.
• To serve: Remove chicken from skewers; drizzle with Chimichurri Sauce. Sweet potatoes can also be drizzled with sauce.
• Potatoes:.
• Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch chunks. Put in a medium saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook 15 minutes or until tender. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water. Drain potatoes, return to pan, and mash with reserved water. (I only used 2 tablespoons of reserved water.).
• Add remaining ingredients and mash into sweet potatoes.
