I just made this for dinner tonight and really enjoyed it! It's more like a stew type of dish, and has more sweet potatoes in it than chicken, so the title is a bit misleading. I loved it, though! I would even love it without the chicken because the sweet potatoes were so delicious after cooking in the crystallized ginger/soy sauce/broth mixture that I would have been happy just to eat a bowl of those. :D My only changes were to use red bell pepper and leave off the cilantro.
