  • 2 cups cubed sweet potato (1/2-inch)
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.  Add onion, garlic, sweet potato and bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened, 5 to 6 minutes.  Stir in chili powder, cumin, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.

Step 2: Add beans and broth (or stock) and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, partially cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Increase heat to medium-high and stir in corn; cook 1 minute.  Add chicken and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes more.  Remove from heat, stir in salt and pepper.  Serve topped with sour cream, avocado and/or cilantro, if desired.
