Caribbean Chicken Stew

This rich, warmly spiced Caribbean Chicken Stew is – without question – one of the most delicious, satisfying, flavorful chicken stews you’ll ever eat!

This Caribbean Chicken Stew is one of our very favorite family meals! Not only is it easy to make and dependably delicious, but it’s economical too; making it perfect for a gathering of friends or a cozy family meal any night of the week.

A simple buttermilk-jalapeño marinade gives this rich, hearty stew has just the right amount of kick. The long, slow baking time mellows the pepper’s heat, resulting in a thick, savory, mildly spiced chicken stew. (It’s actually more like a nudge than a kick!) If you like things a little more spicy, add an extra jalapeño to the marinade mix.

One of the keys to this recipe is browning the marinated chicken before making the stew – that all adds some serious next-level flavor to an already amazing combination.

Ingredients

Marinade

1½ ounces cilantro about 1 cup chopped; reserve a little extra for garnish
4 cloves garlic peeled and roughly chopped
2 Tablespoons brown sugar See Notes
1 medium jalapeno pepper rough chopped [Seeds=Spice; remove them if desired. Even with the seeds, the end result is a very mildly spiced stew.]
6 ounces buttermilk or plain yogurt
2 Tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoons kosher salt
¼ teaspoons turns freshly ground pepper

Stew Base

3 pounds chicken pieces bone-in chicken; skinless or skin-on I prefer to use legs & thighs for this recipe.
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion peeled and thinly sliced root to stem
1 can coconut milk
2 Tablespoons tomato paste ketchup works
½ cup white wine or water
½ ounce fresh ginger grated or minced; about 1½ Tbls
¼ teaspoons freshly ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Root Vegetables [Use a TOTAL of 3 lbs /1.3kg of any combination of the following.]

1 large sweet potato peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large yam peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium plantain sliced in thick rounds

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken

Gather and prep marinade ingredients.
Combine cilantro, garlic, brown sugar, chopped pepper, buttermilk, oil, salt, and pepper in a blender cup.
Process until smooth.
Put the chicken pieces in a large, resealable bag.
Pour marinade over chicken and seal bag.
Squish everything around thoroughly to coat all chicken pieces.
Allow to marinate in refrigerator for at least one hour, and up to 24 hours.

Make the Stew

Preheat oven to 375°. Gather and prep stew ingredients.
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Use tongs to place chicken pieces in hot oil. Chicken should sizzle and pop immediately. If it doesn't, you need to heat the pan longer.
Brown chicken on two sides, 2-3 minutes on each side.
Brown chicken in batches; do not not crowd the chicken in the pan.
Remove browned chicken pieces from Dutch oven and set aside.
Reserve any marinade left in the bottom of the marinating bag.
Reduce heat to medium.
Add a little additional olive oil if the pot seems too dry.
Add the sliced onions to the hot oil in pot.
In Dutch oven, sauté onions until translucent in whatever is left in the bottom after browning chicken.
To the onions in the Dutch oven; add coconut milk, tomato paste, white wine, grated ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes more, then remove from heat.
Stir reserve marinade into the sauce.
Place chicken pieces back in Dutch oven on top of sauce.
Put the cubed vegetables on top of the chicken. Cover Dutch oven tightly and place in middle of preheated oven.
Cook for 2 hours at 325°F | 163°C. (See Cooking Times in notes)
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully remove chicken pieces from stew.
(At this point, the vegetables should all be tender, and the chicken should be nearly falling off the bone.)
Carefully toss the cooked vegetables in the sauce at the bottom of the Dutch oven.
Replace the chicken in the stew and serve; alone or over rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Cooking Times: (Longer cooking time will result in more tender chicken and richer stew.)

325°F | 163°C -- 2 hours [Preferred]
350°F | 177°C -- 1½ hours

Root Vegetables: Use a total of 3 lbs /1.3 kg of any combo of potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams (orange or red sweet potatoes), carrots, and plantain.

I strongly suggest using both sweet potatoes and a yam, as they both bring unique properties to the plate.

For the stew pictured here, I used:

1 large sweet potato
3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
1 medium yam*
3 medium carrots

Brown Sugar: Use an additional tablespoon of brown sugar if you do not use a yam.

DID YOU KNOW? If you live in North American, chances are you’ve never eaten a real yam!

True yams are almost impossible to find in North America! In fact, if you are an American, it’s very likely that you have never eaten a real yam! Real yams originated in and are now mostly commercially grown in Africa. The two top-producing sweet potato states in the nation are North Carolina and California.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup {with a Sweet Surprise!}

October 7 By Renée 13 Comments

Loaded Baked Potato Soup is one of my top five favorite “30-minute Meals.” Fast, economical, and super-easy, this recipe has a sweet surprise that elevates the flavors and results in a perfectly balance bowl of comforting deliciousness.

This post may contain affiliate links, but don’t worry – they won’t bite.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup is one of my top five favorite “30-minute Meals” – and this one I’ll even serve to company!

“Oh, you’ll be here in half an hour? And you’re starving? No problem!”

The first time I made this soup was when my girls were young and they unexpectedly brought home a few extra friends for dinner. We never turn away a hungry kid, but I had barely enough potatoes to begin with, and so I wasn’t sure we would have enough soup to go all around. I did, however, have a sweet potato, so I threw that into my baked potato soup instead.

Oh, my! What a difference that little sweet potato made! I’ll never make baked potato soup without one again!

Fast, economical, and straightforward, this delicious, easy-to-make Baked Potato Soup has a chowder-like consistency and a sweet surprise on the ingredient list. Check it out!

Loaded Baked Potato Soup: Ingredient Notes

Russet Potatoes

It is important to use and Idaho, Russet or other “starchy” type potatoes for this soup. The Russet has a neutral flavor and high starch content, which gives it a creamy, soft texture that breaks down easily. This all makes them the perfect choice for making a creamy soup like this one.

I have also successfully made this Baked Potato Soup with Yukon Gold potatoes, but the soup required a little more “mashing” than usual to achieve the desired consistency. (See Recipe Notes)

DO NOT USE waxy potato varieties (e.g., red potatoes, new potatoes, fingerling, etc.) for this recipe. Waxy potatoes have a low starch content and have a creamy, firm flesh that holds its shape well after cooking. They do not break down easily when cooked, resulting in a thin, bodiless soup.

White Sweet Potatoes

Bottom Line: Use white sweet potatoes for this recipe.

What’s the difference between orange and white sweet potatoes anyway? (And my Gramma told me the orange ones were yams. Are you contradicting my Gramma?)

I don’t know about you, but I grew up calling orange fleshed sweet potatoes “yams.” However, as I have since learned, it is nearly impossible to find true yams is the United States. Most of the tubers we were fed as children and told were yams were really sweet potatoes. It’s true.

OK, now that we’ve cleared that up, here’s the scoop on the differences between orange and white sweet potatoes.

While sweet potatoes around the world come in many different colors – brown, red, yellow, white, even purple – in the United States, nearly all of our sweet potatoes fall into two categories: [1] golden skin with creamy white flesh, and [2] brown or copper skin with an orange flesh.

Orange sweet potatoes are the heroes of holiday side dishes everywhere. They have a sweet, smooth, soft texture. White sweet potatoes, on the other hand, have a milder flavor and crumblier texture when cooked.

FYI Classroom Teachers: While I was preparing this post, I ran across these nifty (and free) Sweet Potato related STEM resources offered by the The North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission.

Garlic

This is for all you cooks who habitually double the garlic in a recipe (I see you). You (i.e., We) are the reason this recipe recipe only calls for one clove of garlic instead of two. One large or two average-sized cloves are perfect, but if I put “2 cloves of garlic” in the ingredient list, someone is going to make this soup with four cloves instead, which is way too much – it simply overpowers everything.

All that being said, if you like a garlicky soup, you can safely add one more clove, for a total of two cloves of garlic.

Equipment

10-inch Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Ingredients

1 large sweet onion chopped 1/4"
4 ounces raw bacon chopped into 1/4" pieces
1 1/2 - 2 pounds russet potatoes about 3 large, peeled and cubed 1/2"
8 ounce white sweet potato peeled and cubed 1/2"

Instructions

Heat a cast iron Dutch oven or other heavy stockpot over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on the surface.
Add the chopped bacon pieces and stir with a wooden spoon to distribute in the pot.
Cook bacon pieces over medium heat until bacon pieces are crispy. Turn off heat.
Remove bacon from pot using a slotted spoon and set aside.
Turn heat up to medium-high.
Add the chopped onions to the hot bacon fat and sauté until translucent.
Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Add chicken broth, chopped potatoes, salt, ground pepper, and hot sauce (optional).
You should have just enough liquid to barely come to the top of the potatoes. (Add a little more broth or water if you need to.)
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender but not mushy.
Add half & half and reserved bacon bits.
Stir over low heat until soup is heated through. Remove from heat.
To thicken the soup slightly, use a potato masher to break up potatoes just a bit.
Remember though, this is Baked Potato Soup, not Mashed Potato Soup, so don't get carried away!
Serve with green onions, grated cheese, bacon bits, grated cheese and sour cream on the side.

Notes

Baked Potato Soup is delicious directly off the stove, and can be eaten immediately. However, as with most soups, it's even better the next day!

Vegetarian Option

Substitute:

+ 2 Butter (for bacon)
+ 3 cup vegetable broth (for chicken broth)

Start at Step 2.

TIP: Bacon is way easier to chop small if it is slightly frozen.

Sweet Potato Pad Thai with Shrimp

July 6 By Renée 7 Comments

In Sweet Potato Pad Thai with Pan-fried Shrimp, the natural sweetness and robust texture of spiralized sweet potato noodles perfectly complements the flavors and textures of traditional Pad Thai.

This post may contain affiliate links, but don’t worry – they won’t bite.

I’ll admit it – I am just now diving into the Spiralizer pool.

In case you’ve been living in a cave for the last few years, spiral vegetable cutters, or “spiralizers,” are kitchen gadgets that cut fruits and vegetables into long noodles and ribbons, which then can be then be used in place of pasta, and as additions in salads, side dishes, etc.

There is a good reason for my reticence to Spiralize: all of the hand-held and counter-top spiralizers I’ve previously tested/used/experimented with simply don’t deliver: they crack under the strain of hard, dense vegetables; they hurt my hand and wrist to operate; and some models are a huge pain when it comes to clean up.

Then KitchenAid® came to my rescue – with a carefully engineered, well-thought Spiralizer Attachment. I couldn’t wait to try it out! (Please note: this is not a sponsored post. I just really love this thing!}

One of the first things I tried was a combination of two of my favorite things – Thai food and sweet potatoes. The outcome – Sweet Potato Pad Thai with Pan-fried Shrimp – is a deliciously tasty dish that blends the natural sweetness and robust texture of spiralized sweet potato noodles with the traditional flavors and textures of Pad Thai.

Bonus: It’s loaded with super-healthy stuff, and takes just one pan and 30-minutes to create.

Extra Bonus: Everyone in my household loves it! (Which means that there is a good chance everyone in your house will love it too!!)

Sweet Potato Pad Thai with Shrimp is a pleasure for your senses, hitting all the taste points – sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami; plus it’s gluten-free (just use gluten free soy sauce or tamari), dairy-free, and naturally high in fiber. Bottom line though – it tastes amazing!

Course: Main Dish

Servings: -6 servings

Author: Renée B. ♥ The Good Hearted Woman

Ingredients

Sauce

Zest & juice from one lime
1 clove garlic minced
3 tablespoons Sweet Chili Sauce
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
2 tablespoons light soy sauce or tamari
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Shrimp

1 lb medium shrimp 70-80/lb, shelled and cleaned
2 tablespoons peanut oil or refined coconut oil
1 clove garlic minced

Sweet Potato Noodles

2 large orange-fleshed sweet potatoes aka yams Spiralized
2 tablespoons peanut oil or refined coconut oil
1 large onion peeled & sliced thinly root to end
2 cloves garlic minced
1 red bell pepper sliced in thin strips
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Garnish

Chopped cilantro
Chopped peanuts
Sliced green onions
Crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

Sauce

Combine sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. (You can also make the sauce in a small beverage blender.)

Shrimp

Pour 1/3 cup sauce in a large ziploc bag. Add cleaned shrimp to the bag and toss around a bit to combine. Set the rest of the sauce aside. Allow the shrimp marinate in the sauce for 15-30 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high. When a drop of water sizzles in the pan, drop the shrimp in a few at a time.(I do this in 2 batches.) Let the shrimp stay where they are when they hit the hot pan so that they get a little bit browned on one side and then flip them over. This will take just a couple of minutes - don't overcook them! The shrimp are done when they are pinkish all the way through.
Immediately remove the cooked shrimp from pan with a spider or slotted spoon and set aside.

Sweet Potato Noodles

In a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, saute the sliced onion in 2 tablespoons of peanut oil until translucent; about 3 minutes.
Add garlic and sliced bell pepper and saute about 4 more minutes; until the red pepper begins to soften.
Add spiralized sweet potato noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes, gently folding up from the bottom of the pan a few times. Add 1/4 cup water to the pan and cover immediately. Steam for 2 minutes. Check for doneness, and then cover again and cook 2 more minutes. Repeat until noodles are tender but not mushy. (You are not making mashed potatoes!)
Add remaining sauce, cooked shrimp, and chopped cilantro and toss gently to combine.

Garnish & Serve

Garnish with additional cilantro, chopped peanuts, chopped green onions, and crushed red pepper flakes. Serve warm (although it is delicious cold too!)

Recipe Notes

What the heck is a Spider? A “spider” is a type of skimmer used in Asian and Dutch cooking. It is a wide shallow wire-mesh basket with a long handle, used for removing hot food from a liquid or skimming foam off when making broths. The name is derived from the wire pattern, which looks like a spider’s web. I use mine all the time.
Why is there no tamarind paste in this Pad Thai? Pad Thai usually relies on tamarind paste for its unique flavor profile, but I think that the combination of lime and brown sugar accomplishes this well in this dish, without requiring that you search out and buy difficult-to-find ingredients. That said, if you have tamarind paste available to you, you can definitely use it here – simply reduce the brown sugar in the sauce by 1 tablespoon and use only 1/2 the lime juice. Dissolve 1 tablespoon tamarind paste in 1/4 cup warm water before adding it to the sauce. Do not add additional water.

Oh my gosh, I love those KitchenAid® people! They know how to do things right!! The KitchenAid Spiralizer lets your stand mixer motor do all the work. Once you figure out how to use the attachment (I found the instructions a little sub-par) it’s a breeze. Clean-up is super easy too. Waste is minimal, and what is made creates these cool little cores that can be sliced or used for garnishing.

For Lefties Only: Unlike almost every counter-top spiralizer out there, this one works equally well for lefties and non-lefties alike! (See, that’s me looking out for you.)

Sweet Potatoes & Marscarpone with Fresh Rosemary Brown Butter

September 8 By Renée 8 Comments

This started out as a post about stuffed squash blossoms, but this Sweet Potatoes & Marscarpone with Fresh Rosemary Brown Butter is so amazing that it earned a post of its very own.

Our zucchini plant is going gangbusters, as zucks tend to do this time of year: one last push before the cold moves in to make way for winter squashes. Last week, I decided I wanted to make some stuffed squash blossoms, so I set to work to think up a little something different to filled them with.

Before I got to cooking though, I wanted to get a few pictures of those beautiful blossoms. So I set up on the back deck (where I shoot all my images, as you have probably figured out by now).

Enter Tarzan.

Tarzan started out life as a barn kitty, and spent the first few months of his life swinging from horse tails and blanket racks down in our barn, which is how he got his name. When he got big enough to escape the barn, the first thing he did was run up to the house and find a comfy spot in the sun to lounge.

A lot of things have changed in the last decade, but Tarzan isn’t one of them.

He saw the sun warming the bench where my squash blossoms were laying, and hopped right up.

There was no way I could get him to move. I kept picking him up and putting him down on the deck, and he kept hopping right back up and getting comfy before I had a chance to turn on the camera. I finally just gave up and started taking cat pictures.

“I’ve got this, Mom. No one’s gonna mess with your flowers on my watch.”

Anyway, back to those squash blossoms – or rather the filling for the squash blossoms. Sometimes, when you throw things together in the kitchen, it works out pretty well. Sometimes it doesn’t. This time, it didn’t turn out well…

This time, it turned out Awesome!

So awesome, in fact, that I decided to give it a post of its very own.

I cannot tell you how much I love these sweet potatoes. The nutty, fragrant rosemary brown butter is a perfect complement to the sweet potatoes, and the marscarpone gives it a velvety smooth, rich texture. As we licked the last bits out of the bowl with our fingers at the end of our meal, Mr. B and I already had a long list of things I could create using it as a base: sweet potato pie (of course), and cookies, ice cream, fudge – who knows what else. I know food bloggers are always raving about how delicious their own creations are, but honestly, this stuff is good. Really good.

Sweet Potatoes with Mascarpone & Rosemary Brown Butter

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Author: Renée B. ♥ The Good Hearted Woman

Ingredients

1 lb. orange-fleshed sweet potatoes peeled and cut into ½ cubes
1/4 cup mascarpone
1/2 t. Kosher Salt or more, to taste
4 oz. Salted Butter
2 sprigs fresh rosemary each about 4" long

Instructions

Place prepared sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover them, plus an extra inch.
Bring the water to a boil and cook the cubed sweet potatoes for about 15 minutes, or until they are very tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes, and place them back in the pot.
Add mascarpone, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the prepared Rosemary Brown Butter.
Using an immersion blender, puree ingredients until everything is smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining. (You can do this step in a food processor if you don’t have an immersion blender.)

To prepare Rosemary Brown Butter:

In a small skillet over medium-high heat, heat butter and rosemary until the butter melts and begins to foam. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns a golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn the butter.
Remove from the heat immediately and allow to cool slightly.
Remove rosemary sprigs from butter.

Notes

Depending on the size of the blossoms you use, you may end up with extra filling. You will survive.

To serve this as a simple, delicious side dish, simply double the recipe.

Sweet Potato Carrot Hash

January 16 By Renée 16 Comments

Earlier this week after I got done making Butternut Samosas, I had some leftover ingredients, so I threw this quick hash together. I didn’t think much of it at the time – I mean, we all do that, right? Throw things in a pan just because we have them and we think they might taste nice together? But from the first fork full, I knew I had to share this “recipe” with you: the rosemary complements the sweet potatoes deliciously, and the grated carrot adds just the right amount of interesting texture. Finish it off with the obligatory poached egg and you have a lovely, healthy little meal in just 15-20 minutes.
