Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Chicken Chili

So here’s the deal: I’m obsessed with this recipe.

Can we all just agree that Chili is super comforting? Think about it: warm, hearty and topped with cheese. It’s basically the definition of love in a bowl.

I decided this weekend that I was going to make a much better effort of prepping meals on Sunday. Being lazy and having no interest in going to the grocery store, I found things I already had and somehow ended up with this magical bowl of chili. I already had ground chicken in my freezer, but of course you can substitute with ground turkey or beef.

Before I even started making this recipe I knew I was going to love it. I mean, sweet potatoes in anything makes it 1,000 times better. And I was right. SO good. Like fight-over-the-last-bowl good.

The best part is you can add anything on top. I like to add avocado and cheese but you could get crazy and add things like cilantro, chips and sour cream. I made a huge pot of this on Sunday and packed it every day for lunch. Let’s just say my desk neighbors at work were super jealous.

Chili has always been one of my favorite foods. White chili, chicken chili, traditional chili, whatever. It’s all good to me. I think because it reminds me of my dad and the holidays.

Every family has their corky holiday traditions. Ours just so happens to be chili on Christmas Eve. We watch christmas movies and my dad makes chili and we eat bowls on bowls. Chelsea always makes an appearance for at least one bowl and a movie with the Leonard fam. Typically we have cornbread and even add some macaroni for a little chili-mac action. Because, carbs.

That recipe is by no means healthy so I wanted to lighten it up a bit since I’m taking it to work every day. The sweet potatoes and chicken are full of complex carbs and protein to keep you full all day. Throw everything in the crockpot Sunday morning and by the afternoon you have lunches for the week. It’s like magic.

  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 3 sweet potatoes
  • 1 onion
