SPICY SWEET POTATO CHICKEN CHILI

Posted October 20, 2015

Chili is a perfect food to prepare in cool weather. Savory, filling, and flavorful. Warm and easy to put to together. This dish is always a favorite of mine to prep in the winter, since it it can be enjoyed for days and easily portable.

*You can make this dish without the chicken if you don’t eat meat, the flavor will not change*
