1
Once you start cooking, this dish comes together rather quickly.
2
As such it is best if you do all your cutting and chopping before starting to cook.
3
Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet until hot but not smoking.
4
Combine the flour salt and pepper.
5
Dredge the chicken cubes in the seasoned flour.
6
Shake off excess flour and place the chicken in the pan.
7
Reserve unused flour for later.
8
Cook chicken until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
9
Remove chicken from the pan.
10
Apply a scant amount of cooking spray to the pan.
11
Add the red peppers and cook for 2 or 3 minutes.
12
Add the scallions and garlic slices, stir and cook an additional minute.
13
Add the carrots and sweet potatoes, stirring in the reserved flour left over from the chicken.
14
Mix in the dry spices (cumin, ginger, cinnamon, red pepper flakes and turmeric).
15
Stir in the chicken broth, honey and vinegar and bring to a boil.
16
Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover and cook until the potatoes are almost tender, about 5 minutes.
17
Return the chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is cooked all the way through, another 5 minutes or so.
18
Stir in the peas and cook through, a minute or two.
19
If you like a thicker stew, bring the stew to a boil and swirl in the cornstarch mixed in water at the same time you add in the peas.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
