I had an extra sweet potato laying and I knew I also wanted to make chili. This could have been culinary chaos but it turned into delight dish. I didn’t make it super spicy as I didn’t want to over power the chicken or the sweet potato. You can alter you spices to your liking.
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts (boneless skinless)
1 large sweet potato
1 can of black beans
1 can of chili beans
1 large can of diced or crushed tomatoes with garlic
1 onion
paprika
chili pepper (I used whole, but you can use flaked)
cumin
Brown chicken and onion
Add sweet potato and brown slightly
Add tomatoes and beans (with liquid) and 1 can of water
Add 1-2 TBS of paprika and cumin (adjust spices as you like, you can also you chili powder)
Add 2-3 whole dried chili peppers
Simmer for 1 hour
Finished chili will thicken.
Serve with traditional chili fixings and enjoy
