Author Notes

This recipe is pretty much the only casserole I ever make. It's rich, filling and healthy and the same time.

This casserole is made out of a thick, hearty stew of white bean and chicken, topped with creamy mashed sweet potatoes and, if you like, a generous sprinkle of mozzarella.

You can make this casserole without the sweet potato topping and it's a great, flavourful stew on it's own. This recipe serves a crowd , but you could halve the recipe, and divide them into individual portions to freeze and bake whenever you want it.
