Amazingly delicious!!! Rich flavors from a healthy dish. I made this for health conscious girlfriends and they had seconds! So glad I doubled the recipe. i used fresh chicken breast that I cubed and sautéed with the onions and garlic then I added the spices to cook until fragrant before adding the rest of the vegetables and broth. I transferred it to my slow cooker to low cook overnight to allow the flavors to meld. I diced some of the sweet potatoes smaller to melt and thicken the broth; and cubed some of it larger to have chunky pieces for texture. I will make this again maybe with less chicken that I will shred instead of cubed. Thank you for this delightful recipe! Read More

This is an absolutely delicious recipe. I had it with pumpkin cornbread muffins on a rainy fall night and it really hit the spot. Flavors are spot on and it's so healthy. Read More

I found this recipe 2 weeks ago and we have made it twice. It is so flavorful my whole family loved it. We added jalapeno as we like a bit of heat. Read More

Absolutely fan-flippin'-tastic! NOM! My husband hates beans so I omitted those and I used less salt. I used half green pepper and half red pepper instead of just green. I also put just a little sprinkle of cheddar on top of the sour cream for looks. This is literally one of the best things I've had. It has a great texture and just the right amount of sweet & spicy. Total winner! Read More

Super easy and tasty. We used black beans because we had them. We thought avocado and plain yogurt were a must. Added a nice rich smoothness to the dish. Definitely a keeper! Read More
