Spicy Kolbassa & Chicken Stew

Cut everything up in 15 minutes and you can have this hearty, one-pot dinner on the table in an hour. Smoky chicken kolbassa is a good alternative to higher fat sausage meat and it goes well with lean chicken. The honey helps to round out the flavour of the spices and reduce the acidity of the tomatoes. Garnish with sour cream or thick Greek yogurt to contrast the heat of the hot chili pepper.
