Directions:
Combine spice ingredients until well incorporated. Set aside.

In a dutch oven, add 2 tablespoons coconut oil, and heat until hot. Add onions, and cook over medium heat until softened, 4 minutes. Add ginger and garlic, continuing to stir another 2 minutes. Add the spice mixture, and stir well for 1 minute.

Add tomatoes and coconut milk. Stir frequently for 2 to 3 minutes. Add broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.

Add sweet potatoes, stirring occasionally. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes.

Taste stew, and adjust seasonings if needed.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place chicken in a single layer in saucepan, and let brown for 4 minutes on first side. Flip with tongs for 3 minutes of browning on second side. Do this in 2 batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.

Add chicken to stew.
