This recipe came from the Soup Kettle section of the cookbook 365 Easy One-Dish Meals . It is different and yummy! I usually use canneloni beans instead of the limas.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon oil
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 onion
3 celery ribs
1 red bell pepper
1 garlic clove
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 yams or 2 sweet potatoes
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 (10 ounce) package baby lima beans
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. Chop the onion, celery, and red pepper. Mince the garlic. Peel and yams and cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Cut the chicken into small cubes.
2. Heat the oil in a large soup pot. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, over high heat 4-5 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
3. Add onion, celery, red pepper and garlic. Cook, stirring, 2-3 minutes.
4. Stir in chicken broth, water, yams and thyme. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
5. Add beans and cook 5 minutes longer. Stir in salt and pepper.
