Latin-Inspired Spicy Cream Chicken Stew Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chicken Recipes. (Latin-Inspired Spicy Cream Chicken Stew Recipe). My old roommate, who was Latino, gave me this recipe about 8 years ago. Recently I was cleaning out a cookbook and found the recipe tucked away. This is extremely delicious. I don't know what it was called, she just said it was something her mom used to make when she was younger. Depending on how spicy you like it, you omit or ramp up any variety of hot spices you like. This is great served over rice with shredded cheese and sour cream -- or even with corn bread. It is really versatile.
