My sweet potato chili is the perfect dinner idea not only for people looking to bring more healthy food into their diet but it’s a great idea for busy families too since it’s so quick and easy to prepare and cook. About 30 minutes from start to finish! This chicken chili with sweet potatoes is also a great recipe idea for chicken leftovers as it uses cooked chicken.
What I truly love about this sweet potato black bean chili uses is the sweet potatoes addition! I think it brings the perfect sweet balance to the spiciness of the chili powder and it truly enhances all the flavors. I would say it’s the key ingredient in this chicken chili with sweet potatoes recipe!
My sweet potato chili recipe also uses mixed beans which make this chicken chili with beans a filling, nutritious and satisfying meal! This sweet potato chili soup is easy, quick, frugal and tastes amazing with all those beautiful flavors! Definitely a winner in my cookbook!
