Chicken and Sweet Potato Chilli
On a cold winter’s day, a bowl of chilli is guaranteed to warm you up. The smoky heat from the chipotle powder adds additional warmth to this dish. Using the meat pulled from a rotisserie chicken saves time and provides additional flavour to the chilli. It’s tomato, gluten and dairy free too.
