To please the Paleo in the crowd, here’s a white chicken chili with Japanese sweet potatoes recipe. An easy all-in-one meal, that’s a slow-cooker favorite – cook it longer or slower, to fit with your schedule. We prep in the morning, so it cooks during the work day.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups chicken broth, gluten-free
- 2 large white or Japanese sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes (about 4 cups)
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 can diced green chiles, 4-ounces
- 1 tablespoon chopped, seeded jalapeno
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1-1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon butter

- 1-2 avocados, sliced (or diced)
Directions
Place chicken in a slow cooker.
Add chicken broth, sweet potato, onion, green chiles, jalapeno, garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Cook on high for 2-1/2 to 3 hours (or on low for 5-6 hours).
