- 1 cup chopped red onions
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 4 ounces carrots, split lengthwise and sliced

- Sea salt and lime tortilla chips, for serving
- Freshly chopped cilantro, for serving
- For the chicken: In a large bowl, stir together the lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, garlic and chile peppers along with a pinch of salt and some pepper (you are basically making a ceviche mixture).
- Add the chicken and stir together.
- Cover and refrigerate.
- For the stew: Bring a pot of water to a simmer and add salt.
- Simmer the potatoes until tender, 15 minutes.
- Drain and set aside.
- In a 6- to 8-quart stainless steel pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the onions, mushrooms, carrots and scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and browning slightly.
- Add 2 1/2 cups chicken stock, the lime juice and the potatoes and bring to a boil.
- Boil vigorously 5 minutes, then lower to a simmer and add the chicken ceviche mixture, the tomatoes, coconut milk, brown sugar, curry powder and the remaining 2 1/2 cups chicken stock.
- Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
- Taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper as needed.
- You may add more brown sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time, to deepen the flavor or knock down any acidity, but don't go too far!
- Serve with chips and cilantro.
