Chicken with Sweet Potato and Apple
Annabel Karmel
Apple and chicken make a delicious combination. Mixing it with sweet potato gives a smoother texture.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped onion
4 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, chopped
1 large sweet potato (12 ounces), peeled and chopped
1/2 apple, cored, peeled and chopped
1 cup chicken stock
Directions
Heat the butter in a saucepan, add the onion and saute for two to three minutes. Add the chicken and saute for a couple of minutes until it turns opaque. Add the sweet potatoes and apple and pour in the stock. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Puree to the desired consistency.
Suggestions
Food fact: Chicken is an ideal "growth" food, as it is packed with protein and vitamin B12, which is not found in plants.
