SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN & SWEET POTATO CHILI



Slow-Cooker Chicken & Sweet Potato Chili image

I'm a college student and one of the things I miss the most at school is my mom's wonderful cooking. This slow cooker recipe is something I can make in my dorm on a busy Sunday. I just throw it all in the slow cooker before I leave for church and come back to piping hot homemade comfort food. Be sure to serve with a good sprinkle of cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and plenty of tortilla chips. -Bailey Starkey, Mount Vernon, Washington

CHICKEN, CHILI AND SWEET POTATO SOUP



Chicken, Chili and Sweet Potato Soup image

This is a recipe my hubby has fallen in love with and recreated the next day at home. He requested I post it and I must admit, it is very good soup and I'm not a fan of spicy foods but this was fantastic. In his words...."Friday I went to Phillpots, which is a small takeaway "lunch bar". I love their soup and went for the sweet potato, chili and chicken soup. It was so damn good that whilst we were at the supermarket on Saturday, I thought would try to make it. So, I used the obvious ingredients and added a little salt, pepper and cream and voila. It was near on a perfect match! Not only was it good, it's SOOOOOO easy to make, so hope you give it a go. You wont be disappointed ;)"

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 sweet potatoes (Add 1 potato per person)
1/2 small red chile (Add 1/4 per person)
1 chicken breast
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup light cream

Steps:

  • Fry / cook chicken breast (any way is fine) and once cooked, dice into small pieces.
  • Peel and dice up sweet potatoes. Throw into a pan of boiling water for about 10-15 minutes Check they are well cooked by poking them with a blunt knife (if the knife slides through effortlessly, then they are done).
  • Chop up 1/2 chili and remove seeds. Dice into small pieces.
  • Put the dice chili into the chicken broth; stir and mix. Add pepper and salt.
  • Put the potatoes into a food processor. Mix for 2 minutes on low. Then add the stock/chili mix and the chicken. Leave to mix for another 2-3 minutes Add a little hot water until you can see the contents being mixed.
  • Add contents into a saucepan, and heat up for about 2-3 minutes, stirring; adding a little water to make sure it keeps a "soupy" consistency (it's supposed to be quite thick).
  • Take it off the heat, keep stirring and add a splash of cream until texture is creamy. Stir well.
  • Serve :).

CHICKEN & SWEET POTATO CHILI



CHICKEN & SWEET POTATO CHILI image

Categories     Soup/Stew

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons crushed red chili flakes
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) or you could use 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, minced
4 cups or so chicken stock
1 pound chicken breast, about 2 large
2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 6 cups), I used white sweet potatoes - I prefer their texture in something like this.
2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
4 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
a spoonful of sour cream or plain yogurt
spoon olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the oil and when it shimmers, tip in the onions and the diced bell pepper. Stir to coat with the oil and let cook for about 2 minutes until they soften a little. Turn down the heat to medium and add the garlic, spices and the chipotle and stir to coat. Continue to cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. 2. Add the chicken stock and sweet potatoes and give everything a stir to combine. Nestle the chicken breasts down into the stock and potatoes. The stock should not quite cover all the ingredients. Crank the heat to high, cover and bring to a boil. 3. Once the stock is boiling, reduce to low and simmer for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the chicken breasts from the chili and let rest on a cutting board for about 10 minutes, until they are cool enough to handle. The chili can continue to simmer on low. Using your hands, shred the chicken breasts into nice bite-size, rustic chunks. (You don't have to do this step, although I really like the way it looks in the finished product. If you prefer, you can just cut the raw chicken into large chunks before you add it to the chili.) 4. Return the shredded chicken to the chili and add the beans. Continue to cook uncovered for about 10 more minutes, until the beans are heated though and it has thickened a little. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if necessary. 5. To serve, ladle into bowls, spoon a dollop of sour cream or yogurt in the center, grind over a little black pepper, and scatter with the sliced scallions.
