In large plastic bag, combine flour and garlic salt. Add the chicken and shake until coated.
Heat oil in pot over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 3 min, or until just browned. Remove chicken. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir 2 minutes until tender; adding some apple cider if necessary to prevent sticking. Stir in remaining apple cider, chicken broth, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, and chicken. Bring to a boil.
