Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew

• • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 shallot, minced

  • 2 stalks celery, diced

  • 4 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 tomatoes, diced

  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

  • salt and pepper

Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven or stock pot over medium high heat. Add the shallot and celery and season with a little salt. Cook for about 10 minutes. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Cover and simmer for one hour, or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are soft.

Serve with crusty bread and cheese.
