Hello friends!
Soup season is here! As the weather begins to cool, I always crave soup and this chicken chili with sweet potato is a favorite forever. I’m not a big fan of ground beef, so traditional chili isn’t my favorite, but I love this twist because it incorporates some of my favorites. I also love it because, like many soups, it gets better as it settles down, so making a big batch on Sunday and eating it for lunch or dinner throughout the week works well. If you’re not a fan of red chili, try my white chicken chili!
Chili de pollo con batata
Here are the ingredients:
- Onion – White or yellow works best
- beans – Look for a low-sodium can or give them a good rinse after draining
- sweet potato – leave the peels on! You won’t even notice them. And be sure to cut into evenly sized pieces.
- normally use frozen corn, but fresh or canned would also work
- Canned diced tomatoes: I prefer the variety without added salt so that I can salt the whole soup to taste
- Spices: Paprika, chili powder, and cayenne can be adjusted to your flavor preferences
- : chicken breasts or thighs work for this recipe
- Broth – Use chicken broth or vegetables
- Toppings – Top mine with avocado, cheese and tortilla chips

Sweet Potato Chili Slow
cooker This is a great soup to bring out your slow cooker. Just throw away everything but the ingredients and give it a good stir. Then simmer for about 6 hours, crumble the chicken and serve with ingredients
Chicken Sweet Potato Chili Instant Pot
If you prefer to do it in the instant pot, the cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken. Start with 15 minutes and then check if the chicken crumbles easily. If not, restart for a few more minutes.
Sweet potato chicken chili
I actually made this soup on a whim. It turns out it was so good that I immediately made a second batch to photograph and share with you. I’ve done it on both the Instant Pot and the slow cooker and it’s great either way. The good thing about chili is that it is quite difficult to ruin. Like most soups, you basically throw what you have on hand in a pot, add some seasonings, and serve. Also, you can easily adjust this recipe to fit your dietary preferences.
Turkey
In this sweet potato chili, turkey or beef (ground)
can be substituted for chicken, however, you would first cook the ground beef before adding it to the slow cooker or instant cooker and reduce the cooking time in the instant pot to about 10 minutes. Sweet potato chili without beans (Quinoa and sweet potato chili)
He is not a fan of beans, no problem! You can still enjoy this chili. Just swap the black beans for cooked quinoa or farro! Both are a great source of nutrients that will add protein and fiber just like beans, but they can reduce the intestinal discomfort that beans can cause some people.
Another option would be to give up the beans and swap the chicken for cooked quinoa or tempeh for an easy sweet potato chili recipe that vegetarians will love.
