INSTANT POT SWEET POTATO CHICKEN CHILI

Hello Everyone, it is officially that time of year! The time of year where all you want to do is have a warm bowl of chili and sit by the fire. This recipe is here to save you! It is simple, quick, and tasty.

I love making sweet potato chicken chili in the instant pot because it bring out the flavors of all the ingredients in such a magical way. I love topping this chili with shredded cheese, avocado, and plain Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is my favorite alternative to sour cream because it has no fat and is filled with protein. It still adds that tangy-ness and cooling sensation to pair with hot food, but with added health benefits!

If you do not have an instant pot, this can also be made in a crock-pot or dutch oven, it will just having a longer cooking time. I also found that if you want to adjust the consistency you can pressure cook it for 10 minutes longer at a time until it is your desired consistency. If you feel like it has become to thick, add more tomato sauce or water to thin it.

Web Story

I enjoy using the instant pot for this recipe because it only takes 30 minutes to finish cooking. When you normally slow cook chili, it could take hours. Feel free to add the seasonings in this recipe to taste. I love the addition of curry powder in this recipe for some extra salty flavor and depth. If you like your chili on the spicier side, I suggest adding jalapeno peppers or red chili flakes as a topping. I hope you enjoy this recipe and warm up with a bowl of it this season!
