30 minute Chicken Chili loaded Sweet Potato

This recipe was awesome and was better with a sweet potato rather than a regular potato. One of my favorite healthy recipes I've made so far. This is my own recipe but was inspired by the pinterest link on the bottom of the page.

Ingredients:

Chicken Chili-Makes 5 1-cup servings

1 lb of ground chicken 

1 can of kidney beans

2 cans of fire roasted diced tomatoes, preferably organic

1 small can of tomato paste (I recommend whole foods 365 organic tomato paste. It was delicious and really added good flavor over other tomato pastes I've tried)

1 whole jalapeno, diced

1 onion

1-2 tbsp of  dried chipotle pepper flakes

1 tsp of oil (I used coconut)

salt to taste 

1 large sweet potato (per person) 

Instructions: 

Sweet potato:

1. While cooking chili, pierce sweet potato with a fork in multiple places, wrap in paper towel, and put in microwave on baked potato setting or microwave for at least 10 minutes until the entire sweet potato is soft to the touch.

Chicken Chili:

1. Add 1 tsp of oil into a large pot 

2. Add 1 lb of ground chicken and begin sauteeing on medium heat

3. Dice and chop onion and jalapeno and add into sauteeing chicken 

4. Add chipotle flakes

5. Saute chicken, onions, and jalapeno until chicken is no longer pink. (About 10-15 minutes)

6. Drain and rinse kidney beans and add them to the chili, along with diced tomatoes, and tomato paste.

7. Add salt to taste.

8. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 10 minutes

Open sweet potato and cut slits into the potato. Pour 1 cup of chicken chili on top of the sweet potato. Enjoy!
