Chipotle Chicken Chilli with Sweet Potato



It's Autumn and you know what that means fellow foodies! COMFORT FOOD!
One of my favourite kitchen gadgets to use this time of year is the slow cooker. Here is a different kind of chilli recipe that I came up with based solely on my love for sweet potato and also by being a bit tired of the conventional chilli recipes out there. Give it a try!


Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, cubed
2 sweet potatoes, cubed
1 onion, chopped
1 cup canned black beans
1 cup corn niblets
1/2 cup water
3 chipotles peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tbsp canola oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black cracked pepper
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric

Method
In large pan over high heat, heat 3 tablespoons of canola oil. Add chicken and onion and cook for 5 minutes, then add potato and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes until slightly tender. Move all contents of pan to a slow cooker, add remaining ingredients and stir. Set on low and cook for 5+ hours. Serve with green onion, sour cream, avocado or crushed tortilla chips.
Enjoy!
