Forget ordinary chili! Here's what makes this dish special:
Smoky Magic: A touch of smoked paprika or chipotle pepper adds a unique depth of flavor that elevates the chili without overpowering the other ingredients.
Tender Chicken: Succulent chicken, cooked to juicy perfection, adds a satisfying heartiness to the chili.
Sweet Potato Sunshine: Diced sweet potatoes become the star of the show with their vibrant orange color and touch of sweetness, balancing the savory broth.
Rich and Hearty Broth: The flavorful base is built with chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and your favorite chili spices. As the chili simmers, the broth becomes incredibly rich and complex.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly complex flavors. Chicken chili with sweet potatoes is surprisingly simple to make:
1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil and sauté chopped onions and garlic until fragrant. This releases the aromatics that will form the base of your chili's flavor.
2. Sear the Chicken: Brown the chicken pieces on all sides for extra flavor and to ensure they stay juicy when cooked through.
3. Build the Broth: Pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and your chosen chili spices. Bring the mixture to a boil, then stir everything well to combine.
4. Sweet Potato Time: Once the chili boils, reduce the heat, add the diced sweet potatoes, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
5. Beans (optional): If using beans, drain and rinse them before adding them to the pot during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
6. The Finishing Touches: Taste the chili and adjust seasonings as needed. Remove from heat and consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a touch of brightness (optional).
