Directions
In a 4-5 quart Dutch oven heat oil. Add onions; cook and stir over medium heat about 5 minutes or until tender. Add chicken pieces and broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove chicken from Dutch oven and set aside to cool.

Add yams, tomatoes, tomato juice, frozen corn, chili powder, to Dutch Oven with chicken broth. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender but not to soft.

Meanwhile, when cool enough to handle, remove chicken from bones. Discard the skin and bones and any fat. Using your hands pull chicken into bite sized strands/chunks. Skim any fat from the broth. Do not add chicken yet.

Reserve 2 cups of broth & vegetables and once cool use a food processor or blender to puree the mixture. Return the vegetable/broth puree to the Dutch oven. Add chicken, coconut milk and ginger. Cook on low-medium heat for 10 minutes.

     My family doesn't like sweet potatoes so I didnt tell them what was in the stew and they practically licked the pot clean, this is rich & delicious! - 1/26/10

     Fabulous, flavorful stew- a nice change from vegetable beef. I used boneless, skinless thighs, and put everything together in the crock pot in the morning, left on low for 10 hours. I did not puree, but slightly mashed the potatoes. I also added green beans. DELICIOUS! - 9/13/11

     This was delicious. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts in lieu of chicken thighs. My kids don't like sweet potatoes either, but they liked this stew a lot. I think I would use less ginger next time, (tasted great, but a little fragrant), but all in all, fantastic! - 1/11/11

     This is so good! I made it in my crockpot, but reduce the water a bit. The flavors are really great. So many crockpot recipes are so bland. It's so filling. Will definitely be making this again. - 3/21/14

     OMG!....this is amazing! Lots of broth so we cleaned up most of the veggies and are going to throw some shrimp and rice stick noodles in. So yummy....thank you!

     Soooo Good! My husband said it tasted like when he lived in Jamaica for a summer. My kids even ate it! We have made this multiple times and love it. I took it one day as left overs and added fresh green peppers to it...fantastic! - 8/15/12

     This stew is absolutely amazing. I have made it twice so far and it works out as a great weekday lunch. I love ginger so I ususally double it as well as the chili powder and add a dash of cayenne. Next time I will try substituting the meat for beans as I love beans. Great recipe!! - 7/16/12
  • LEANORA602
     Amazing flavor--I couldn't believe how creamy it was! I included the whole can of coconut milk, and used 8oz tomato sauce because I couldn't find tomato juice (weird, I know!). Next time I'll use more chicken & cook the ginger, but otherwise, loved it!! - 6/25/12

     I could not believe how could this is. I had to tweak the seasoning a little and I could not find unsweatened coconut but I made this work. Very good! - 2/9/12
  • INVISIBLEPILOT
     This is very delicious, though I made some minor adjustments: added chick peas, carrots and green beans. Increased coconut milk to 1 full can, and added red chili flakes. Huge hit on family night and everyone asked for the recipe ;) - 1/5/12

     This was the second thing I ever made from sparkrecipes and it got my whole family hooked. We make it every other week, absolutely delish!! - 3/2/11
  • DOUBLEFORTE8
     we didn't really like it. I guess my family and I just don't like ginger. - 1/19/11
  • MIDGETTWIFE
     This was pretty tasty, but it was missing something. More spice perhaps? Some jalapenos or cayenne pepper might be good. Maybe some cilantro. Overall, it was very good, and the hubby really liked it as well. - 1/18/11
  • TRVLTA00
     Delish!!!! I don't like spicy so I left out the chili powder, but added nutmeg, corainder, cinnamon, garlic, & paprika. This stew was amazing! - 1/18/11
